Ozone Park-based Amida Holding has filed applications for two three-story, three-family residential buildings at 103-107 Force Tube Avenue, in the Cypress Hills section of East New York, located three blocks from the Norwood Avenue stop on the J/Z trains. They will rise on the vacant portion of a 9,294-square-foot lot. The plot of land, which shares a corner with Hale Avenue, also contains a two-story townhouse at 39 Hale Avenue that will not be demolished. As for the new structures, they will respectively measure 2,882 and 2,707 square feet. Across the development, the full-floor apartments should average 931 square feet apiece. Brandon Hamchuk’s Massapequa, N.Y.-based Hogan Associates is the applicant of record. The site was subdivided into three separate lots in 2015.

Four-Story, Single-Family Townhouse Planned at 92 Guernsey Street, Greenpoint

Property owner Francois Depoortere has filed applications for a four-story, single-family townhouse at 92 Guernsey Street, in southern Greenpoint, located two blocks from the Nassau Avenue stop on the G train. The new 3,328-square-foot structure would rise on a 17-foot-wide, 1,667-square-foot lot, which is currently occupied by a little two-story house. The 47-foot-tall townhouse will be topped by an outdoor terrace. Timothy A. Dumbleton’s Union Square-based design and development firm, TA Dumbleton, will probably develop the project, as they’re listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in 2015 to remove the site’s existing home.
