The affordable housing lottery has launched for 1638 Park Avenue, a nine-story residential building in East Harlem, Manhattan. Designed by Marin Architects and developed by Affect Property Group, the structure yields 24 residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are six units for residents at 40 to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $31,818 to $122,000.
Permits have been filed for a six-story mixed-use building at 402 Manhattan Avenue in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Located between Meeker Avenue and Frost Street, the lot is near the Graham Avenue subway station, serviced by the L train. Daniel Kaykov of Giron Contracting Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Construction has topped out on 25 Water Street, a 32-story office-to-residential conversion and expansion in Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by CetraRuddy and developed by GFP Real Estate, Metro Loft Management, and Rockwood Capital, the project involves the construction of ten stories above the parapet of the former 22-story office building, the replacement of much of its old façade with a modern fenestration featuring more expansive glass, and the gut renovation of its 1.1 million square feet of interiors into 1,300 rental units.
Construction is moving along on 500 Main Street, a 26-story mixed-use tower in downtown New Rochelle, New York. Designed by Niles Bolton Associates and developed by BRP Companies and the Urban Investment Group of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the $200 million project will span 620,000 square feet and yield 477 rental apartments in studio to two-bedroom layouts, with 119 units dedicated to affordable housing, as well as 20,000 square feet for the New York Covenant Church, 2,000 square feet of retail space, and a 429-vehicle parking garage with electric vehicle charging stations. Skycore Builders Inc. is the general contractor for the development, which is being built on a 22,500-square-foot corner lot at the intersection of Main and Church Streets.
