Three-Story, Six-Unit Residential Building Planned At 3019 Corlear Avenue, Kingsbridge

Brooklyn-based Horizon Construction Inc. has filed applications for a three-story, six-unit residential building at 3019 Corlear Avenue, in the North Bronx’s Kingsbridge neighborhood, located four blocks from the 231st Street stop on the 1 train. The project, totaling 5,798 square feet, will feature 4,177 square feet of residential space, which means units will average a rental-sized 696 square feet apiece. Sometime in the area’s past, the street was raised and many of the older homes now sit somewhat below grade. The site consists of one of those buildings, and permits were filed to demolish the existing 2.5-story house last December. Lower Manhattan-based Chi F. Lau Architect is the applicant of record.

New Renderings Of Six-Story, 82-Unit Mixed-Use Project Underway At 438 East 12th Street, East Village

Last summer, excavation kicked off at 438 East 12th Street, in the East Village, where a six-story, 82-unit mixed-use building is under development by Douglas Steiner. Then in December, the developer secured a $130 million construction loan for the project. The Real Deal now reports the project has received approval from the Attorney General’s office, putting the valuation of the project’s 82 units at $215 million. When completed in 2017, the 151,943 square-foot building will have 8,376 and 961 square feet of ground-floor retail and medical offices, respectively. The units above will average 1,315 square feet apiece, and will come in one- to four-bedroom layouts. The amenities, located on the ground and cellar levels, will include a pool and spa, a gym, a library, and a children’s playroom, as well as courtyard and rooftop gardens.
