    Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit at 2100 Hamilto Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit at 2100 Hamilton Street, located in the Franklintown section of Spring Garden, North Philadelphia, has revealed that the 115-foot, ten-story-tall residential tower’s cladding has climbed more than halfway up along the concrete structure. The project was designed by Cecil Baker, which is also behind two condo developments that have risen within the past four years, and developed by Brock Development Group. The development, located just to the north of Center City and three blocks to the southeast of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, rises from a masonry-walled pit where a freight train line once ran and was taken out in the 1970's, with a tunnel remaining under several other blocks. 2100 Hamilton Street is currently scheduled for completion later this year. See our article in Philly YIMBY for more details about this project.
    Curtain wall work is continuing to shape up at 39 Curtain wall work is continuing to shape up at 39 West 23rd Street, a 24-story residential development in the Flatiron District. Designed by COOKFOX Architects and developed by Anbau Enterprises, the project consists of two structures spanning between West 23rd and West 24th Streets, separated by a private interior courtyard. The site sits almost directly in the center of a rectangular parcel bound by Fifth Avenue to the east and Sixth Avenue to the west. Recent photos show the progress the warm-colored stone façade has made since our last update in October, when the first panels had just begun installation. Now the envelope covers the entirety of the 23rd Street elevation up to the setback. The next major step for the lower portion of the façade is the installation of its ornate railings. The overall development will yield 118,00 square feet and 44 units. Four of these residences will be designated as affordable rentals. See today's article for more info.
    Following years of dispute and litigation, the Jer Following years of dispute and litigation, the Jersey City Planning Board has officially granted Kushner Companies necessary approvals to begin construction on One Journal Square, a two-skyscraper complex in downtown Jersey City. Designed by Woods Bagot, the buildings will comprise 2 million square feet and stand 710 feet tall. The project team has also revealed final renderings of the project, which is expected to break ground this spring. Following four years of construction, tenants could begin occupancy as early as fall 2025.
Both towers will top out at 52 stories, primarily comprised of residential area. The residential component will comprise 1,723 rental apartments with 93 studios, 972 one-bedrooms, 222 two-bedrooms, and 36 three-bedroom units. Amenities will include a full-size basketball court, a pool, and an outdoor roof with an enclosed dog run, a party area, children’s spaces, barbecue grills, and communal seating. Additional components include 41,000 square feet of retail and parking area for 883 vehicles.
    A new 26-story tower in Journal Square could soon A new 26-story tower in Journal Square could soon begin construction following approvals from the Jersey City Planning Board. The tower will occupy a large T-shaped parcel of land at 415-435 Summit Avenue. The project will eventually debut as 425 Summit Avenue. The main project team includes Spitzer Enterprises, a real estate development entity founded and partially owned by former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and architects Marchetto Higgins Stieve. When complete, the building will comprise a mix of rental apartments, residential amenities, lower-level commercial area, and on-site parking for 51 vehicles. Original permit applications also specified 3,550 square feet of retail space and 34,000 square feet of office space. The project team has not announced when the project is expected to break ground or when it will open for business. In its current condition, the development site is occupied by surface-level parking and an undeveloped lot.

    The seven buildings that comprise the uCity Square The seven buildings that comprise the uCity Square project in University City, West Philadelphia, are under various stages of progress, with three currently under construction and four more still under planning, to be built in the next phase. The proposed towers will effectively surround One uCity Square, flanking the building to the south and to the west and creating an extraordinarily dense cluster of buildings. Designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects and developed by Ventas Incorporated, uCity Square will bring 6.5 million square feet of mixed-use space spread across the 14-acre site. The three buildings will stand on North 38th Street, with the hotel proposed at the corner of North 37th Street and Filbert Street, and will rise 23, 18, 15, and 14 stories. One uCity Square is projected to be completed in 2023. The other four could be completed by 2026. Read more and see our Philly YIMBY article to see the current state of the site.

    Trader Joe’s will soon open a new grocery store Trader Joe’s will soon open a new grocery store in Harlem, the chain’s first location in Upper Manhattan. The store will occupy 28,000 square feet of ground-floor space of the forthcoming Urban League Empowerment Center at 121 West 125th Street. The Prusik Group, BRP Companies, L+M Development Partners, and Taconic Partners are developing the complex, which when complete will also house the new headquarters and conference center for the National Urban League, as well as the Urban Civil Rights Experience Museum, New York State’s first civil rights museum, and a new Target. Additional components will include 170 units of supportive and affordable housing for low-income New Yorkers making 30 to 80 percent of Area Median Income. Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle, the entire structure will comprise 414,000 square feet and top out at 17 stories. Construction is expected to wrap by 2023.
    Community Board Five’s Land Use, Housing & Zonin Community Board Five’s Land Use, Housing & Zoning Committee voted in a meeting on Wednesday to advance plans for a massive undertaking in Midtown involving the conversion of Madison Square Garden into a new concourse for Penn Station, and the creation of a new home for the sports facility between two supertall skyscrapers near Herald Square. Initially proposed in 2016 by Vishaan Chakrabarti, founder of Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU), new renderings give visual context to the plan, to which the city council agreed with the consideration of The Madison Square Garden Company’s acquisition of a shorter extension of its current lease. Madison Square Garden would move to an eight-acre site consisting of two full-block parcels that would give rise to a pair of supertall skyscrapers and two shorter towers, anchoring all four corners of a raised podium above street level. PAU’s initiatives of removing of the arena interiors of Madison Square Garden, expanding the transportation concourse floors of Penn Station and overhauling the cylindrical superstructure would also occur if all goes according to plan. See YIMBY's article for more details about this massive undertaking.
