When YIMBY last reported on the six-story, five-unit residential project at 52 Wooster Street, located at the corner of Broome Street in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, a teaser site had just been launched. Now, thanks to photos from our friend Tectonic, we can see that much more has been accomplished.
Southern Crown Heights isn’t as thick with new construction as the area north of Eastern Parkway, but new apartments are in the works on the low-slung blocks around Empire Boulevard. Last week YIMBY noticed new building applications for a seven-story residential development at 264 Sullivan Place, between Rogers and Nostrand Avenues.
Back in 2013, the city’s School Construction Authority announced plans to renovate the exterior of the six-story, 102-foot-tall Seward Park High School, located at 350 Grand Street, on the Lower East Side. Since then the structure has been shrouded in scaffolding, and the façade is finally being revealed, Bowery Boogie reports. Upgrades include new windows, new parapets, and rooftop installations, and it appears much of the brick has been restored and cleaned. The building never closed, and work was done only after school hours and on the weekends. The rest of the scaffolding is expected to be removed imminently.
Back in April of 2015, YIMBY revealed renderings of the two-tower, 428-unit residential development at 400 West 113th Street, located on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine campus, in Morningside Heights. The Handel Architects-designed 15-story buildings topped out late last year, and now Tectonic has photos (h/t Curbed NY) of the completed towers. Dubbed Enclave at the Cathedral, all of the units will be rental apartments and will have access to over 10,000 square feet of amenity space. Amenities include landscaped outdoor decks and rooftop terraces, a 2,000-square-foot gym, an art gallery, and recreational/entertainment rooms. The Brodsky Organization is the developer and occupancy began on March 7.
Brooklyn-based Allied Properties has filed applications for a six-story, 59,784-square-foot school at 429 89th Street, in Bay Ridge, located three blocks south of the 86th Street stop on the R train. The school will probably be private as it wasn’t filed by the city’s School Construction Authority (NYCSCA), but it will be located right next to the five-story Public School Nos. 104 and 185 Annex, which is at 415 89th Street, and a block from Public School 264. The new building will featurea total of 29 classrooms, a gym and locker rooms, two squash courts, administration offices, a library, a theater/auditorium, and a cafeteria. The 107-foot-tall school would replace a 100-foot-wide, single-story auto body shop. Demolition permits have not yet been filed. Edward Mill’s TriBeCa-based Edward I. Mills & Associates is the architect of record.
