RiverOak Investment Corp., Azimuth Development, and the nonprofit Women in Need are moving forward with plans to build a seven-story, 17-unit mixed-use supportive project at 316 East 91st Street, in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side. All of the residential units will be two-bedrooms and they will be geared towards single mothers who are homeless, Crain’s reported.
Construction is wrapping up on an expansion project at 68 West 126th Street, in Harlem, as seen in a picture by Harlem+Bespoke. A formerly dilabidated four-story, 11-unit brownstone SRO building has been redeveloped into a six-story, six-unit residential structure, per the latest building permits. The building now has 5,578 square feet of residential space, which means the apartments should average 930 square feet apiece. Many of the units will occupy an entire floor, although it’s unknown if they will be rentals or condominiums. An anonymous Harlem-based LLC is the property owner and Barry Goldsmith’s Brooklyn-based firm is the architect of record.
An anonymous Midtown East-based LLC has filed applications for a four-story, 18,987-square-foot commercial building at 286 Lenox Avenue. That’s between East 124th and 125th streets in Harlem. The project will include 15,012 square feet of commercial space in total. Retail space will be located on the ground floor, followed by office space on the second through fourth floors. Staten Island-based Gambino+LaPorta Architecture will design the 58-foot-tall structure. The 44-foot-wide, 3,792-square-foot property is occupied by a two-story commercial building. Demolition permits haven’t been filed.
