Three Townhouses at 36-40 West 10th Street to Be Transformed Into Single-Family Mansion, Greenwich Village

Media billionaire Sean Parker, of Naptster fame, has acquired, for an undisclosed amount, the five-story townhouse at 36 West 10th Street, in Greenwich Village. Parker also currently owns the five-story townhouse at 38 West 10th Street and the three-story townhouse at 40 West 10th Street. He plans to combine the three properties into a single-family mansion, the New York Post reported. The townhouse in the latest acquisition is currently under renovation and was set to be marketed for roughly $22 million. The assemblage is located within the Greenwich Village Historic District, which means the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approve any exterior alterations.

Construction Underway on Ground Floor of Supertall 35 Hudson Yards

Construction is now underway on the ground floor of 35 Hudson Yards, the 72-story, 1,046,332-square-foot mixed-use building under development at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and West 33rd Street in the Hudson Yards District. The construction progress can be seen thanks to photos posted to the YIMBY Forums. The 1,009-foot-tall tower will contain retail space on the ground, second, fourth, and fifth floors, followed by office space on the eighth through 13th floors, a 217-key Equinox hotel on the 15th through 29th floors, and 137 condominium units on the 31st through 70th floors. Equinox will move their global headquarters into the office portion and will open a 60,000-square-foot fitness club in the building. Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group are the developers, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is the architect. Completion is expected in 2019. The developers recently negotiated the project’s $2 billion capitalization, which includes $1.2 billion of debt, Real Estate Weekly reported.

Four-Story, 10-Unit Residential Project Filed at 157 Beach 96th Street, Seaside, Queens

An anonymous Queens-based LLC has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 157 Beach 96th Street, in Seaside. That’s a neighborhood along the Rockaways in southern Queens. The project will measure 10,548 square feet and its residential units should average 987 square feet apiece, which means the units could either be rentals or condominiums. There will be a total of eight off-street parking spaces. Oscar M. Fuertes’s Bayside-based OMF Architecture is the architect of record. The 50-foot-wide, 5,000-square-foot property is currently vacant. A two-story house occupied the site until July. The Beach 98th Street stop on the A train and Rockaway Park Shuttle is two blocks away.
