6:00 am on February 25, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In February of 2015, YIMBY reported on applications for a seven-story, 159,050 square-foot medical office building at 101 Pennsylvania Avenue, in northern East New York, located within walking distance of subway stops on the A, C, J, Z, and L trains, as well as the East New York station on the Long Island Rail Road. Later that year, the site’s old four-story commercial building, the Former East New York Savings Bank, was demolished. Now, Brownstoner has renderings of the new building and foundation work is currently underway on it. The project will boast 116,522 square feet of medical office space as well as 153 parking spots. Parking will take up the second through fourth floors, and medical office space will occupy the ground level and fifth through seventh floors. Array Architects is behind the design and Jonas Rudofsky, doing business as an anonymous LLC, is listed as partner to the property owner.

Twin Two-Unit Residential Buildings Coming To 1460 Blake Avenue, East New York

10:00 am on December 22, 2015 By Reid Wilson

In the borderlands of East New York and Lindenwood, where Brooklyn meets Queens, property owner Luz Perez Ortiz has filed applications for two two-family residential buildings at 1460-1462 Blake Avenue. The development would measure 7,272 square feet in total, and its four residential units would average a spacious 1,818 square feet apiece. Each structure would rise three stories in height, although units would be located on the upper two levels only.

The site, however, is located just west of the most sunken streets, some of which are 30 feet below grade. Felix Tambasco’s Brooklyn-based Sears Tambasco Architecture is the applicant of record.

City Plans 59-Unit, Seven-Story Mixed-Use Building At 453 Hinsdale Street

11:00 am on November 19, 2015 By Evan Bindelglass

It’s about to get very busy for a corner in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn. In addition to the seven-story building planned at 500 Livonia Avenue, HPD plans another seven-story building spanning 81,435 square feet at 453 Hinsdale Street. The former will have 90 units while the latter will have 62 units, though the Schedule A seems to indicate 59 units. Those apartments will spread across 69,634 square feet. If the number is indeed 62, that means units will average a spacious 1,123 square feet apiece. A 1,094 square-foot community facility and 10,707 square-foot retail space will be on the ground level, plus storage for 31 bicycles. Like 500 Livonia Avenue, Christine Hunter of Manhattan-based Magnusson Architecture and Planning is the applicant or record.
