426 East 58th Street [New York Press]: Bauhouse Group is planning a 95-unit, 268,000 square-foot luxury residential building, standing “over 900 feet tall,” at their assemblage spanning 426-432 East 58th Street, in Midtown East. Plans are not final, and the site could be sold to another developer.
An LLC has filed applications for a three-story, 32-unit residential building measuring 34,623 square feet spanning the lots of 695-705 6th Avenue, in South Slope. Karl Fischer is designing, and an existing single-story structure must first be removed.
Some big changes are coming to a TriBeCa building, thanks to approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. On Tuesday, the LPC approved a proposal to modify the five-story building at 71-73 Franklin Street, just off Broadway. The building dates back to 1861 and will be converted from its original form – an Italianate/Second Empire loft building – to residential use. There will be six units, plus ground floor retail.
