Mayer Meisels has filed an application, this time in southern Borough Park, for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 1420 56th Street. The new building will measure 5,510 square feet, and Kenneth Thomas is once again designing. The existing two-story, 4,100 square-foot building has three apartments, and demolition permits have yet to be filed.
In February, YIMBY brought you news of Bushburg Properties’ commercial conversion planned at 65 Porter Avenue, which would turn a single-story, 32,620 square-foot warehouse into a commercial building featuring retail and offices in southern East Williamsburg. Now, Brownstoner has renderings, and the building will have commercial units ranging from 630 to 5,000 square feet. A new façade is in store, and future tenants can expect to move in starting January 2016. Michael Avramides Architects is designing.
UPDATE: Per the developer, SLCE Architects is designing the building.
Earlier this year, YIMBY posted preliminary renderings for a new project coming to 131-141 East 47th Street, in Midtown East. Now, we have new images for the (approximately) 50-story building.
Last week, we talked to Joshua Weissman of JCAL Development about his market-rate projects in the South Bronx, and now we have a rendering of his affordable building underway at 950 Summit Avenue, near Yankee Stadium in Highbridge.
Small residential developments have begun arriving on the edge of downtown Jamaica, but YIMBY has seen few projects as large as the eight-story mixed-use building planned for 178-02 Hillside Avenue.
