Eyal Ovadia, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit residential building at 114A Marcus Garvey Boulevard, in northern Bedford-Stuyvesant, located four blocks from the Myrtle Avenue stop on the J, M, and Z trains. The 3,740 square-foot project will rise 49 feet in height on a small, 17-foot-wide lot, currently home to a garage. There will be one residential unit on the ground floor and the second unit will occupy the second, third, and fourth floors. If the 2,956 square feet of residential space is divided like so, the smaller unit will measure roughly 740 square feet and the larger one will span 2,216 square feet. Queens-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record.

35-Story, 220-Unit Mixed-Use Tower Rises At 323 Tenth Avenue, West Chelsea

11:00 am on February 4, 2016 By Reid Wilson

During the summer of 2015, renderings were revealed of Lalezarian Properties’ planned 35-story, 220-unit mixed-use tower under construction at 323 Tenth Avenue, between West 28th and 29th streets in West Chelsea. At the time, the ground floor of the tower was being constructed, and the developer’s two other 13-story buildings at 507 West 28th Street – with a combined additional 155 residential units – were close to topping out. Today, the larger structure is 25 stories above street level and the smaller 13-story components are nearly fully clad in glass. The photos are courtesy of Tectonic (h/t Curbed). The entire project will encompass 337,978 square feet, and rental units will average 779 square feet across all three buildings. There will also be a total 16,068 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Avinash K. Malhotra Architects is the design architect and completion is expected later this year.

Four-Story Church At 126 Forsyth Street Seeking Partner For New Mixed-Use Building, Lower East Side

10:00 am on February 4, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The Spanish Delancey Seventh Day Adventist Church, located at the four-story building at 126 Forsyth Street, on the corner of Delancey Street on the Lower East Side, is looking for a development partner that would demolish the existing structure for a new building. The 5,000 square-foot lot could accommodate a new mixed-use building of up to 32,500 square feet, where a maximum of 27,000 square feet could be used as residential space. The lot is subject to a 120-foot height cap, according to Curbed NY. The church is requiring the first three floors of the new building to be designed, owned, and operated by the church as a house of worship, although zoning allows for retail space to be built as well. It should be noted that the rest of the building could potentially end up being a hotel or office space if a developer chooses against building residential units.
