An anonymous Staten Island-based LLC has filed applications for a three-story, 15,587-square-foot children’s daycare facility at 1719 Hylan Boulevard, located on the corner of Garretson Avenue in Dongan Hills, along Staten Island’s East Shore. The center will feature an office, daycare rooms, classrooms, and a playground on the roof, according to the project’s Schedule A. There will be six off-street parking spaces. Staten Island-based Sanna & Loccisano Architects is the architect of record. The 9,590-square-foot site was occupied by a single-story commercial building until it was demolished earlier this month.

The 23-story, 120-unit mixed-use building under development at 56 Fulton Street, in the Financial District, is now a floor away from topping out. The structure can be seen in a photo posted to the YIMBY Forums. The project will eventually encompass 128,540 square feet. It will feature 5,865 square feet of ground-floor retail space, followed by 120 rental apartments. The units will range from studios to two-bedrooms, twenty percent (24 units) of which will rent through the affordable housing lottery. The Parkland Group and Socius Development Group are developing. Goldstein, Hill, & West Architects are behind the architecture. Completion is expected next year.
