The Kimco Realty Corporation has filed proposals to construct a new eight-story, mixed-use building in Flushing, Queens. Designed by S9 Architecture, the development would be marketed as The Kissena Center and would contain rental apartments, a community facility, commercial retail, and a parking structure.
Full demolition permits have been filed for the three-story building at 45 East 126th Street, in Harlem, along with adjacent lots 1975 and 1981 Madison Avenue. Owned by Metropolitan Community United Methodist Church, the three buildings were built at separate times, but some of the construction dates back to 1905 according to NYC Planning records. The Metropolitan Community United Methodist Church was founded in 1942 yet the edifice it currently occupies was built from 1869-71, for St. James Methodist Episcopal Church of Harlem. The Neo-Gothic building features a noble bell tower and vaulted interior.
With a very small footprint at ground level, the COOKFOX-designed 41 West 23rd Street is starting to rise above a narrow construction site. The tower will stand 322 feet to its rooftop, totaling 25 stories, and featuring a cantilever in its upper half. Anbau Enterprises is the developer of the project, which previously received approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission due to its slight cantilever on the eastern elevation.
A handsome Art Deco-inspired exterior adorns the The Fitzroy, located at 514 West 24th Street, which is now practically complete. The insides are also nearing the finish line, and will soon open to prospective residents. The project is being designed by Roman and Williams, and developed by a partnership between JDS Development and Largo Investments.
New construction permits have been filed for a 17-story residential project at 323 East 79th Street, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The site is seven blocks north of the 72nd Street subway station, and seven blocks south of the 86th Street subway station, both serviced by the Q train. Spruce Capital Partners is listed as behind the applications. The firm is also responsible for the condo development at 151 78th Street in the same neighborhood, which features 14 full-floor units and three penthouses.
