L&C Associates is designing, and a dilapidated two-story townhouse was recently approved for demolition.
In January, Brownstoner reported that the new two-story Whole Foods building had topped out at 242 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, and now Gothamist has the latest with photos of façade installation.

Sotheby’s International Realty is marketing the five-story, 17,200 square-foot building — currently a parking garage — at 177 East 73rd Street, on the Upper East Side, for $50 million.

YIMBY first reported on new building permits for 1681 Third Avenue last November, when Extell filed a new job application for the site, located between East 94th and 95th Streets on the Upper East Side. We now have the reveal for the condominium tower coming to the lot, which is substantially taller than the 23-story building indicated in the first DOB filings.
