Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 3128 Henry Hudson Parkway in Spuyten Duyvil, The Bronx. The site is eleven blocks away from the 231st Street subway station, serviced by the 1 train. Six blocks away is the neighborhood’s Metro-North train station. TR Construction NY is listed as responsible for the development.
A new three-story commercial office building is coming to 29 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Located in between Flushing Avenue and Park Avenue, the site sits close to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the north and Downtown Brooklyn to the west.
Downtown’s residential boom continues apace with the construction of 125 Greenwich Street, which has reached two-thirds of the way to its 912-foot-tall pinnacle on a corner overlooking the World Trade Center memorial. The tower will rise above most of its neighbors in the Financial District, but since it is right across from 1 World Trade Center, it will not make a sizable impact on the skyline. Architect Rafael Viñoly is also responsible for the Midtown supertall 432 Park Avenue.
A new six-story residential building at 485 Tompkins Avenue in Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn is about to undergo reviews by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The proposal calls for the demolition of the two-story vacant building currently on site, and would create a new ground-up structure. The new building is being proposed and designed by NV Design Architecture.
Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential complex at 959 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

The Romanesque/Gothic revivalist structure is within the Crown Heights North Historic District landmark and will require approval from the LPC. Matthew Cordivari of the Triton Construction Company is listed as behind the applications.
