Four Three-Story, Three-Unit Residential Buildings Coming to 42-10 164th Street, Murray Hill, Queens

Flushing-based Applo Development Group has filed applications for four three-story, three-unit residential buildings at 42-02 – 42-10 164th Street, in Murray Hill, located to the east of Downtown Flushing. They will measure between 3,732 square feet and 3,748 square feet. Across the entire development, the full-floor residential units should average 891 square feet apiece, which could mean either homes or rental apartments are in the works. Each structure will feature a two-car garage. Michael Mastrogiacom’s Rye, N.Y.-based Mastrogiacomo Engineering is the applicant of record. The 7,923-square-foot site, located at the corner of Stanford Avenue, is currently occupied by two two-and-a-half-story houses. Demolition permits were filed in March.

20-Story, 74-Unit Mixed-Use Project at 591 Third Avenue in Murray Hill Could Be Condos

Back in March of 2015, CB Developers, SK Development, and Ironstate Development acquired, for $25.2 million, the three five-story tenement buildings at 587-591 Third Avenue, located between East 38th and 39th streets in Murray Hill. Around that time, the developers filed applications for a 20-story, 74-unit mixed-use building at the site. Now, the team has submitted preliminary applications (called CPS-1 documents, which are associated with marketing) with the state Attorney General’s office for a condominium project, according to The Real Deal. Filings with the Buildings Department describe a 96,166-square-foot building in the works. It will have 4,231 square feet of retail space on the ground and cellar levels, and its residential units should average 972 square feet apiece. Edgar L. Rawlings’ Lower East Side-based Rawlings Architects is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed for the existing tenements back in 2014.
