Construction Wraps on 10-Story, 45-Unit Residential Project at 92 Morningside Avenue, Harlem

10:00 am on June 3, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in June of 2015, the 10-story, 45-unit residential redevelopment project at 92 Morningside Avenue, located on the corner of West 122nd Street in Harlem, topped out. Now, construction on the exterior of the structure is wrapping up, as seen in photos in a Harlem+Bespoke report. The site’s old seven-story pre-war building received a three-story, 11,677-square-foot vertical expansion and now boasts 60,714 square feet of residential space. Before the expansion, the building was more densely occupied with 50 apartments, but it is now home to 45 rental units ranging from one- to four-bedrooms. The apartments should average a spacious 1,349 square feet apiece and will include duplex penthouses. Amenities include storage for 23 bikes, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and a rooftop terrace. Renaissance Realty Group is the developer, while Nataliya Donskoy’s Brooklyn-based ND Architecture & Design is behind the architecture. Occupancy is expected in the coming months.

As the MTA considers shutting down the L train for as long as three years, we’re glad to see Bushwick’s residential market chugging along in areas where residents can take other trains.

Development Team Closes on Deal with Port Authority to Rebuild LaGuardia Airport

6:30 am on June 3, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in March, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) officially approved plans to rebuild LaGuardia Airport, in East Elmhurst, in addition to incorporating a 24-hour ferry service and an AirTrain to help transport travelers. Now, LaGuardia Gateway Partners – comprised of Vantage Airport Group, Skanska, and Meridiam – has closed on a deal with the Port Authority to actually construct the project, and to operate the new 1.3-million-square-foot airport through 2050, according to Crain’s. Demolition is expected to begin within the next few months on the five-story parking garage in front of the Central Terminal building. The Central Terminal will be the first portion to be redeveloped and is expected to be complete by 2021, followed by Terminals C and D. The development team, which is putting up $1.8 billion of its own money, has already secured $2.5 billion in financing. The Port Authority is responsible for an additional $2.2 billion that will go towards infrastructure work.

Request for Proposals for Two Residential Portions of Hunters Point South Mega-Project, Long Island City

6:00 am on June 3, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in February, we learned that the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) and the School Construction Authority (SCA) are planning a 600-student elementary school on block “F” of the Hunters Point South mixed-use, mixed-income mega-development, located in southwestern Long Island City. Now, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is preparing to launch a Request for Proposals (RFP) for two residential portions of the mega-project, one located on block “F” adjacent to the school, and the other on block “G,” Crain’s reported. Together, the two buildings are expected to include at least 750 residential units, of which 450 would rent at below-market rates. There would also be retail space and some form of community facility space. Proposals will be due in September, and a development team will be selected in early 2017.

Four-Story, Two-Family Mixed-Use Building Coming to 737 Park Place, Crown Heights

4:00 pm on June 2, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Itamar Bruhim, doing business as an anonymous Floral Park-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit mixed-use building at 737 Park Place, in western Crown Heights, located five blocks from the Franklin Avenue stop on the 2/3/4/5 trains. The structure will measure 4,378 square feet, and 1,254 square feet of that will be dedicated to ground-floor retail space. Above, one unit will be hosted on the second and third floor, and a second unit will be located in the fourth floor and penthouse level. The apartments should average a spacious 1,612 square feet, which means condominiums must be in the works. Roman Sorokko’s Little Neck-based Versatile Engineering is the applicant of record. The 20-foot-wide, 1,513-square feet lot is currently vacant.

3:00 pm on June 2, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Flushing-based property owner Chunhui Lin has filed applications for two three-story, two-family residential buildings at 55-40 – 55-40A 66th Street, in Maspeth, located directly north of the Long Island Expressway. Each will measure 2,423 square feet. Both will feature the same general unit configuration, with one unit located on the ground floor and the second unit hosted on the second and third floors. Across both, the apartments should average 908.5 square feet apiece. Each structure will have its own laundry facilities and a single off-street parking spot. Flushing-based Zheng & Associates is the applicant of record. The 50-foot-wide plot of land is currently vacant. Filings were previously submitted for a similar project in 2014, but were withdrawn.

2:00 pm on June 2, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in August of 2015, YIMBY revealed renderings of the 12-story, 13-unit residential project at 12 Warren Street, in TriBeCa. Construction on the exterior of the building, which goes by 12 Warren, is wrapping up, with the façade of the structure now fully installed, Curbed NY reported. The project is technically an expansion of the site’s five-story commercial predecessor but now boasts 55,447 square feet of residential space. The residential units, which are condominiums, should average a very spacious 4,265 square feet apiece. Amenities include a fitness center, private residential storage units, a recreational room in the cellar, and an open terrace on the rooftop. DDG is both developing and designing the project, while H. Thomas O’Hara’s Midtown-based HTO Architect is serving as the architect of record. Occupancy is expected later this year.
