Rezoning Application Withdrawn for Seven-Story, 209-Unit Affordable Residential Building at 50-25 Barnett Avenue, Sunnyside

2:00 pm on September 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In March, YIMBY reported that the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) kicked off for the 10-story, 220-unit mixed-use building proposed at 50-25 Barnett Avenue, in Sunnyside. Earlier this week, developer Phipps Houses withdrew their application for the project, Politico reported, which means the project has been cancelled. The ULURP process was suppose to conclude by the end of this month. Since March, it appears the developer scaled down the project to seven stories and 209 units, but that move proved unsuccessful in relieving opposition. It would have included a 4,000-square-foot pre-K school on the ground floor and between 25 to 30 percent of the units would have rented at below-market rates through the housing lottery. New plans for the site have not been revealed, but it’s zoned for up to 60,000 square feet of commercial and community facility space as-of-right.

Caliendo’s Briarwood-based architecture firm is the architect of record.

Landmarks Not Sold on Wild Rear, Roof Additions for Upper East Side Home, 210 East 62nd Street

7:30 am on September 23, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

On Tuesday, a proposal to renovate and expand a nearly century-and-a-half-old rowhouse on the Upper East Side’s southern end went before the Landmarks Preservation Commission. While the work on its front would be mostly welcome, the proposal for the roof and rear left one commissioner wondering how the application got this far.

Permits Filed: 986 Rogers Avenue, Flatbush

7:00 am on September 23, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

Filings for new buildings in Flatbush seem to have slowed down over the last few months, probably thanks to confusion about the defunct-but-possibly-not 421-a tax abatement. The tax break propped up market-rate development throughout the central Brooklyn neighborhood, and without it, many builders seem to be delaying construction.

Protesters Shut Down Rezoning Meeting for Big Residential Project in Williamsburg’s Broadway Triangle

4:00 pm on September 22, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

Affordable housing protesters chanting and marching through a public meeting last night forced the Department of City Planning to call off what would have been the first stage of a public approval process to rezone part of the Broadway Triangle in South Williamsburg, which would pave the way for an eight-building residential development.

Construction Wraps on 60-Story, 145-Unit Residential Tower at 56 Leonard Street, TriBeCa

1:00 pm on September 22, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Construction is wrapping up on the 60-story, 145-unit residential tower at 56 Leonard Street, located on the corner of Church Street in TriBeCa. Tectonic’s latest photo, posted to the YIMBY Forums, shows that the exterior is practically complete, with the exception of the construction elevator and the façade that will go in its place. The 821-foot-tall building’s Jenga-like pattern of overhanging floors is now clearly visible. The upper floors were still sheathed in netting when YIMBY last brought you an update a year ago. The bold design is the work of Herzog & de Meuron. Alexico Group and Hines are the developers. All of 56 Leonard’s condominiums sold by late last year and occupancy is now underway.
