Landmarks Welcomes Revised Mega-Mansion Proposal for 11-15 East 75th Street, Upper East Side

8:00 am on June 15, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

About two months ago, the Landmarks Preservation Commission heard a proposal to create a mega-mansion out of the rowhouses at 11-15 East 75th Street. The commissioners, and the public, were quite unreceptive to it. On Tuesday, the team representing Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, owner of the mega-yacht Eclipse and the Chelsea Football Club, returned to the LPC and found their revised proposal much more to the commissioners’ liking.

30-Story, 83-Unit Mixed-Use Condo Tower Rises to Fourth Floor at 200 East 95th Street, Upper East Side

6:00 am on June 15, 2016 By Reid Wilson

YIMBY last brought you an update on the 30-story, 83-unit mixed-use building under development at 200 East 95th Street, at the corner of Third Avenue on the Upper East Side, when rebar was rising from the foundation in March. Now, the structure is four stories above street level and quickly rising, as seen in a photo by Tectonic via the YIMBY Forums. The 317,664-square-foot tower, dubbed The Kent, will eventually stand 367 feet above street level. It will feature 13,225 square feet of retail space on the ground and cellar levels. The apartments, which will be condominiums ranging from two- to five-bedrooms, should average roughly 3,000 square feet apiece. A list of residential amenities can be found in our last report. Extell Development is the developer, while Beyer Blinder Belle is behind the design. Completion is expected sometime in 2017.

Developer Seeks to Build Two Three-Story, Single-Family Townhouses at 96 Degraw Street, Columbia Street Waterfront District

4:00 pm on June 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based development and design firm Barrett Design is seeking to obtain approval from the Department of Buildings to build two three-story, single-family townhouses at 96-98 Degraw Street, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, located 12 blocks from the Bergen Street stop on the F and G trains. Each will measure 3,100 square feet and will contain a two-car parking garage on the ground floor. Both will also sport rooftop terraces. The townhouses will rise on a vacant 35-foot-wide, 3,500-square-foot lot currently being used as a parking lot. The property is currently located within a manufacturing district, which may be the reason the new buildings applications haven’t been approved.

Three Three-Story, Two-Unit Mixed-Use Buildings Coming to 19-23 Foster Road, Prince’s Bay, Staten Island

3:00 pm on June 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

John Stringile, doing business as an anonymous Staten Island-based LLC, has filed applications for three three-story, two-unit mixed-use buildings at 19-23 Foster Road, in Prince’s Bay, located on Staten Island’s South Shore. Each will measure between 2,874 square feet and 2,950 square feet. Two of them will contain 639- to 649-square-foot ground-floor commercial components, while the third will feature a 619-square-foot educational facility. Two apartments will fill the two upper floors in each building. Across the entire project, the apartments should average 1,046 square feet apiece. There will also be an 18-car parking lot, hopefully behind the buildings. Staten Island-based Stanley M. Krebushevski is the architect of record. The 10,476-square-foot plot, on the corner of Wheeling Avenue, is vacant. The neighborhood’s Staten Island Railway station is located three blocks to the south.

Foundation Work Underway at Nine-Story, 32-Unit Residential Project, 42-50 27th Street, Long Island City

1:00 pm on June 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In January, YIMBY revealed renderings of the nine-story, 32-unit residential building planned at 42-50 27th Street, in the heart of Long Island City. At the time, we knew the site was cleared of its low-rise predecessors. Foundation work is now well underway, according to the Court Square Blog. The structure will encompass 35,294 square feet, and its residential units should average 777 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include private residential storage, a seven-car garage on the ground floor, storage space for 18 bikes, and a outdoor recreational area on the second floor. New York-based Ampiera Group is the developer, while Flushing-based MY Architect is behind the design. Completion is expected in late 2017.
