Construction recently topped out on 737 4th Avenue, a 14-story mixed-use residential building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Designed by Dencityworks Architecture and developed by BEB Capital, Totem/Ailanthus, and SK Development, the 145-foot-tall structure will span 193,000 square feet and yield 187 mixed-income rental units with 46 dedicated to affordable housing, as well as 6,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space with a 1,275-square-foot executed lease to former tenant Dunkin Donuts, which operated at the former occupant of the property before its demolition. The project is located between 24th and 25th Streets.
On Wednesday, The Brooklyn Public Library and Fifth Avenue Committee celebrated the ribbon cutting for the Sunset Park Library and Apartments, an eight-story mixed-use building at 5108 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The first development of its kind, the project combines affordable housing with a public library in a new model for urban development that blends community services with housing needs.
Demolition is complete at 570 Fifth Avenue, the site of a potential 1,101-foot mixed-use supertall in the Diamond District of Midtown, Manhattan. Developed by Extell, the project could either unfold as a 78-story, 1.4-million-square-foot hotel and condominium tower or as an 860-foot-tall, 47-story office skyscraper yielding more than 1.5 million square feet. ALBA Services was the demolition contractor for the property, which spans between West 46th and West 47th Streets.
Renovation work is complete on 604 Fifth Avenue, a six-story commercial building in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by William Van Alen, architect of the Chrysler Building, the 65-foot-tall structure opened as the Childs Building in 1924 and most recently housed an 18,000-square-foot TGI Fridays. Japanese confectioner Minamoto Kitchoan purchased the property from The Riese Organization for $45 million in April 2021 for its new flagship store. Andrew Pettit Architect was the designer and Cross Management Corp. was the general contractor for the interior and exterior renovation project, which is located between East 48th and 49th Streets.
