Hunters Point South

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.

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.

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.

Construction Wrapping on 12-Story, 13-Unit Condominium Project at 12 Warren Street, TriBeCa

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.
