Multi-family development is growing on Staten Island’s eastern shore. Last month YIMBY revealed plans for 400 apartments on an industrial site along Edgewater Street in Rosebank. Now we’ve spotted building applications for a 72-unit residential project at 80 Scarboro Avenue, just a few blocks south of the big Edgewater Street development.
A Yonkers, N.Y.-based property owner has filed applications for a four-story, 12-unit residential project at 381 East 166th Street, located on the corner of Clay Avenue in the South Bronx’s Morrisania neighborhood. The project will measure 10,702 square feet and its residential units should average 736 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities will include storage for six bicycles and a 268-square-foot recreation room. Pelham, N.Y.-based Fred Geremia Architect & Planners is the architect of record. The 2,456-square-foot plot is vacant.
Staten Island-based CCI Builders Corp. has filed applications for twin three-story, two-family houses at 899-903 Sinclair Avenue, located on the corner of Foster Road in Woodrow, a neighborhood along Staten Island’s South Shore. The buildings will measure 4,489 square feet each. Across both, the residential units should average a family-sized 1,625 square feet apiece. There will also be a total of six off-street parking spaces, two of which will be housed in built-in garages. Stanley M. Krebushevski’s Staten Island-based firm is the architect of record. The 11,050-square-foot plot is occupied by a single-story house. Demolition permits have not been filed.
Construction is underway on the 33rd floor of the 41-story, 223-unit mixed-use building under development at 38-46 West 33rd Street, in Midtown South. Progress on the structure, which includes façade installation, can be seen thanks to photos posted to the YIMBY Forums. The latest building permits indicate the tower, upon completion, will encompass 220,724 square feet and rise 404 feet to its upper roof, not including bulkhead elements.
Among all New York City’s glorious sites, large and small, there are some to which time has not been kind. One of them, the house at 7 Irvington Place in Flatbush, Brooklyn, has a new owner who has proposed renovations to the dilapidated structure. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission heard that proposal, but found that it did not meet its standard of appropriateness.
