Last time YIMBY checked in on Prospect Plaza in March, construction on the big affordable development in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn was chugging right along. Now, another building has been filed for the second phase of the project, at 1760 Prospect Place between Howard and Saratoga avenues.
Construction is underway on the top floor of the eight-story, seven-unit mixed-use redevelopment project at 210 Bowery, in Nolita. The site’s existing four-story commercial building is receiving four more floors, or an additional 6,600 square feet of space, as seen in an update by Bowery Boogie.
Brooklyn-based Lany Vays has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 21-22 45th Road, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City. The project will measure 4,883 square feet and its residential units should average 814 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. The building will be joined by at least four other similarly sized buildings, at 21-20 – 21-28 45th Road and 21-19 46th Avenue, which YIMBY reported on back in September. Igor Zaslavskiy’s Brooklyn-based Zproekt is the architect of record. The 15,000-square-foot site is occupied by multiple single-story warehouses. Demolition permits were filed over the summer.
An anonymous Jamaica-based development firm has filed applications for a three-story, four-unit residential building at 94-74 199th Street, in Hollis, Queens. The project will measure 5,511 square feet and its resdiential units should average 1,378 square feet apeice, indicative of condominiums. There will be two off-street parking spaces. Jin Woo Jang’s Little Neck-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 8,155-square-foot property is vacant. The site’s two-story residential predecessor was demolished back in 2006. The Hollis Long Island Rail Road station is five blocks away.
In June, YIMBY reported that major changes are ahead for the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel. Thanks to a move on Tuesday, there are unlikely to be too many changes that mar its historic design. The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to calendar portions of the Art Deco skyscraper’s interior.
