In June, YIMBY revealed the glassy skyscraper at 200 Amsterdam Avenue, which may become the Upper West Side’s tallest building. Now permit applications have been filed for the 669-foot-tall structure.
An anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 214 Sumpter Street, in Ocean Hill. The project will measure 7,120 square feet and its residential units should average 688 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. The two units on the fourth floor will also feature space in an upper penthouse level. Kenneth Thomas’s Hudson Valley-based firm is the applicant of record. The 25-foot-wide, 2,500-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a two-story townhouse. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. The Ralph Avenue stop on the C train is three blocks away.
Property owner Vito Mancini, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for two three-story, three-unit residential buildings at 1946-1950 80th Street, in Bensonhurst. The buildings will measure 5,059 square feet each, and their full-floor residential units should average 1,249 square feet apiece. That means family-sized apartments are probably in the works. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 6,000-square-foot site is currently occupied by a two-and-a-half-story house. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. The 18th Avenue stop on the D train is six blocks away.
The six-story, 93-unit residential project planned at 440-446 Whiton Street, located on the corner of Ash Street in the Bergen-Lafayette section of Jersey City, has been granted a 20-year tax abatement, Jersey Digs reported. The project was approved by the Jersey City Planning Board earlier this year. Construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion scheduled in early 2018. It’s unclear if the apartments will be rentals or condominiums, although a 74-car parking garage is included. Ash Urban Redevelopment is developing, though the vacant site’s architect and design have not yet been revealed.
Piling work is now underway on the two-towered, 310-unit mixed-use complex under development at 76 Eleventh Avenue, located between West 17th and 18th streets in southern Chelsea. The site can be seen thanks to a photo posted to the YIMBY Forums. The project will consists of 25- and 35-story towers, rising 302 and 402 feet above street level, respectively. A common four-story base will feature 181,893 square feet of commercial space. It will include retail and office space, in addition to the residential amenities. The residential units, located in the towers, will be condominiums, averaging 2,258 square feet apiece. HFZ Capital Group is the developer. Bjarke Ingels Group is the design architect and Woods Bagot is the executive architect. Completion is expected in 2019.
