A trio of local developers is working in collaboration to rezone and redevelop a large swath of 31st Street in Astoria, Queens. The area comprises 24 adjacent lots and four distinct development sites between Hoyt Avenue North and 23rd Road.
Construction began last week on 722 Chancellor Avenue in Irvington, New Jersey. Developed through a partnership with The NRP Group and northern New Jersey developer Adenah Bayoh, the five-story building will add 56 affordable housing units to the community. OCA Architects is responsible for the design of the mid-rise, energy-efficient development.
Permits have been filed for a four-story community facility building adjacent to the PS 26Q – Rufus King School campus at 195-15 73rd Avenue in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Located between 195th and 196 Streets, the lot is closest to the 179th Street subway station, serviced by the E and F trains. New York City School Construction Authority is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Exterior work is continuing on The Paxton, a 511-foot-tall mixed-use skyscraper at 540 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by Marvel Architects and developed by Jenel Management, the 43-story, 330,000-square-foot building will yield 327 residential units, 71,844 square feet of commercial space, and 22,054 square feet of retail in the podium. M.N.S. is handling sales and marketing for the homes, which range from studios to three-bedroom layouts. The property is located at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Fulton Street.
Exterior work is continuing to progress on 308 Livingston Street, a 23-story residential building in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by Fogarty Finger Architecture and developed by Lonicera Partners, which purchased the site in May 2019 for $11 million, the property will yield 160 units in a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts, as well as ground-floor retail space. The site is located between Nevins and Bond Streets.
