13-Story, 48-Unit Residential Building Tops Out At 42-14 Crescent Street, Long Island City

4:00 pm on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Excavation began in mid 2015, and in early December, YIMBY reported that construction on the 13-story, 48-unit residential building at 42-14 Crescent Street, in Long Island City, reached street level. The structure has now topped out, The Court Square Blog reports. The building will total 44,061 square feet and its residential units, which begin on the second floor, will average 816 square feet apiece. The ground floor will contain 740 square feet of retail space. Façade installation has not yet begun, but completion is anticipated sometime later this year. Meadow Partners is developing the project and John Fotiadis Architect is designing it.

Four Three-Story, Two-Unit Residential Buildings Coming To 22 Norman Place, Prince’s Bay, Staten Island

3:00 pm on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Staten Island-based Keegans Construction Corp. has filed applications for four three-story, two-family residential buildings at 12-24 Norman Place, in Prince’s Bay, located on the south shore. Two of the buildings will individually measure 3,568 square feet in total and the other two will each measure a slightly less 3,443 square feet. The residential square-footage across the entire development will total 10,594 square feet, which means units will average 1,324 square feet apiece. The units will likely be geared for families and, therefore, would contain multiple bedrooms. Staten Island-based Calvanico Associates is the architect of record. The 160-foot-wide lot is currently occupied by a single-story home.

Four-Story, Three-Duplex-Unit Residential Project Filed At 10-27 47th Road, Long Island City

2:00 pm on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Long Island City-based Ascent Development has filed applications for a four-story, three-unit residential building at 10-27 47th Road, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City, located a few blocks from stops on the G and 7 subways. The project will measure 5,000 square feet and all three units will be duplexes. One duplex will take the first two floors and the other two duplexes will split the upper half of the building and the roof terrace. If both floors in each duplex are calculated separately, the six individual dwellings would average 833 square feet apiece. Jorge Mastropieto Atelier is the architect of record, and demolition permits were filed for the existing two-story townhouse in November.

NYU Langone’s 21-Story, 830,000 Square-Foot Hospital Expansion Rises At 424 East 34th Street, Kips Bay

1:00 pm on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In late 2013, YIMBY reported on applications for New York University Langone Medical Center’s planned Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion hospital expansion at 400-424 East 34th Street, located on the corner of the FDR Drive in Kips Bay. Now, Tectonic has photos of the structure and it’s 12 stories above street level and rising. The new hospital wing, which will connect to Tisch Hospital, will stand 21 stories in height and measure 830,000 square feet. The medical facility will feature single-bed inpatient rooms, procedural and operative rooms, conference rooms, and amenities like children’s play areas and a café. It will also share the same support services with the rest of the campus. Ennead Architects is designing and completion is expected in 2018.

Three-Story, Three-Family Residential Building Coming To 1727 49th Street, Borough Park

11:00 am on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Gabriel Eisen, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 1727 49th Street, in southern Borough Park, located five blocks from the 18th Avenue stop on the F train. The new structure will encompass 8,646 square feet, and 6,402 square feet will be used as residential space. That means full-floor units will average 2,134 square feet apiece and are likely being built to accommodate families within this Hasidic Jewish neighborhood. Brooklyn-based Eretz Builders Assistance, a general contractor, is the applicant of record. The site’s old two-story, two-unit house was demolished this past December.

NYU Langone Close To Topping Out 16-Story, 365,000 Square-Foot Research Facility At 435 East 30th Street, Kips Bay

10:00 am on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

New York University Langone Medical Center is now a few steel beams from topping out their new 16-story, 365,000 square-foot medical research facility at 435 East 30th Street, located on the corner of the FDR Drive in Kips Bay. Thanks to photos by Tectonic, we see that the facility, dubbed Science Building, is almost structurally complete, although façade installation has not yet begun. The building will feature 10 floors of laboratory space, which will be utilized to grow NYU Langone’s biomedical research efforts and the NYU School of Medicine’s program. There will also be a lecture room and a cafeteria on the ground-floor. Ennead Architects is the design architect and completion is expected in 2017.

Architects Tout Gansevoort Market Plan As Return to History

8:00 am on February 5, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

In November, a plan for a commercial revitalization of the south side of a block of Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, went before the Landmarks Preservation Commission. In a rare, but hardly unheard of occurrence, the hearing was paused before the commissioners could discuss the proposal. With the continuation of that session likely to come soon, YIMBY sat down with the architects behind it to talk about its place in the history of the area.

Garage to Luxury Apartment Conversion at 152 East 87th Street Gets a New Rendering

7:30 am on February 5, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

A year ago, the Board of Standards and Appeals greenlighted a plan to transform a six-story parking garage at 152 East 87th Street into a 19-story residential tower. Now YIMBY has a new rendering for the project, which is under construction between Lexington and Third avenues on the Upper East Side.

Permits Filed: 301 Covert Street, Bushwick

7:00 am on February 5, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

A cluster of cemeteries at the eastern edge of Bushwick has marked the border of gentrified Brooklyn for years, but development in the area is starting to push that border closer to East New York. A developer based in South Williamsburg has submitted plans for a five-story building at 301 Covert Street, mid-block between Irving and Knickerbocker avenues.

Inoperative SS United States To Be Renovated Into 400-Suite Luxury Cruise Ship

6:30 am on February 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Last fall, news surfaced that the 990-foot-long SS United States, a decommissioned 12-deck passenger liner built in 1952 and which set a trans-Atlantic that stands to this day, could be docked in Red Hook and transformed into a office and entertainment complex. The latest proposal now calls for a restoration of the vessel into an 800-passenger luxury cruise ship fit with 400 suites, according to the New York Times. Crystal Cruises would lead the ship’s makeover, which would cost between $700 to $800 million, about the cost of a newly built cruise ship of similar size. The company can also take the option to purchase the ship from SS United States Conservancy. The revived ship is tentatively expected to make its first voyage from New York in 2018. The ocean liner currently contains toxins that may complicate the renovation if the Environmental Protection Agency gets involved.
