When YIMBY checked in on the bluestone-clad condo building at 155 West 18th Street last month, windows were going in and the facade was snapping into place. Now, we have more renderings of the exterior and the apartments at the 11-story development.
Last week, YIMBY brought you news that an entire Broadway theater – the Palace – will be raised up 29 feet. Well, it’s not the only theater that’s getting some work done. Two days before Thanksgiving, the Landmarks Preservation Commission also approved a renovation of the Helen Hayes Theater, located at 240 West 44th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and an expansion of its annex. While the changes aren’t as dramatic as moving an entire theater, they will be somewhat more apparent to those walking by.

Property owner Tongyun Lu has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 57-50 Granger Street, in Corona, located two blocks north of the Long Island Expressway. The project will measure 7,966 square feet in total, and units will average a relatively spacious 996 square feet apiece. Dezhang Fang, based in Flushing, is the architect of record, and the existing two-story, multi-family structure was filed for demolition in November.
