Mixed Rulings for Conversion of 346 Broadway, TriBeCa

8:00 am on April 4, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

It was back in December of 2014 that the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved (on its second attempt) the residential conversion of the former New York Life Insurance Company Building, later a city office building, at 346 Broadway, in TriBeCa. However, in just the past two weeks, two rulings have come down that will impact the plan from developers Peebles Corporation and Elad Group, being marketed using the alternate address 108 Leonard Street.

A year ago, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Habitat for Humanity was planning an affordable co-op in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx.

At 88 Withers Street In Williamsburg, Former Paramount Studios Warehouse Makes Way For 12-Story Residential Project

6:30 am on April 4, 2016 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Another block in central Williamsburg is shedding its commercial past as a warehouse at 88-92 Withers Street is torn down. It is slated to be replaced by a 12-story residential building, developed by Caro Enterprises and JHG Holdings. The 12,500-square foot corner lot sits across from the small park at the Badame Sessa Memorial Square, sandwiched onto a small triangular block by the side of the elevated Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The cleared lot, situated within a residential-manufacturing M1-2/R6 zoning district, measures 125 feet along Withers Street to the north and 100 feet on Leonard Street to the east.

498 Leonard Street In South Greenpoint Nears Completion

4:00 pm on April 1, 2016 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

A residential complex is nearing completion at 498 Lorimer Street on the southern edge of Greenpoint. Though it stands as a single structure, it functions as three conjoined buildings at 498, 500, and 502 Leonard, where each one is accessed via a separate entrance for its eight units. The combined 24 unit complex rises four stories high, with a penthouse level above set back from the main façade. In terms of urban context, its design makes it a transitional component between the rowhome neighborhood to the east and a new cluster of mid-rises facing McCarren Park one block west.

Four-Building, 26-Unit Residential Development Filed At 90-11 56th Avenue, Elmhurst

3:00 pm on April 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Tu Kang Yang has filed applications for four six- to seven-unit residential buildings at 90-11 – 90-21 56th Avenue, in southern Elmhurst, located three blocks from the Grand Av-Newtown stop on the M/R. All of the structures will rise four stories and measure 6,200 square feet, and two six-unit buildings will be book-ended by the seven-unit buildings. Across the 26-unit development, there will be 19,600 square feet of residential space, which means units should average a rental-sized 754 square feet apiece. Danny Yan’s Fresh Meadows-based Yan Architect & Planner is the applicant of record. The site currently consists of two two-and-a-half-story wood-framed houses.

2:00 pm on April 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Casa Development Inc. has filed applications for a five-story, four-unit residential building at 75 Herkimer Street, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant, located around the block from the Nostrand Avenue stop on the A and C trains. The new structure will measure 4,610 square feet and its residential units should average a relatively spacious 1,153 square feet apiece. The ground and second floors will contain two duplex units, and the third, fourth, and upper mezzanine level will house two triplex units. The project will be topped by a rooftop terrace. Amenity space will be located in the cellar. The developer, headed by Long Island-based Campani & Scharting Architects, is designing in-house. An existing three-story townhouse must first be demolished.

1:00 pm on April 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Meir Daus has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 134 Quincy Street, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant, located seven blocks north of the Franklin Avenue stop on the C train. The project will encompass 6,278 square feet and its residential units should average 728 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. The ground floor apartment will include space in the cellar, and there will be two units per floor on the second and third levels. The penthouse unit will span the entire fourth floor and a rooftop terrace. Suresh Manchanda’s Flushing-based L&C Associates is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in March for the site’s existing three-story, multi-family townhouse.

Eight-Story, 54-Unit Mixed-Use Building Tops Out At 264 West 140th Street, Harlem

11:00 am on April 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in October of 2015, construction was underway on the ground floor of the eight-story, 54-unit mixed-use building being developed at 275 West 140th Street, in northern Harlem. Now, Harlem+Bespoke reports the structure has topped out, and it appears façade installation is imminent. Dubbed Strivers Plaza, the 64,948-square-foot project will eventually host studio, one-, and two-bedroom rental apartments. Individual units should average 876 square feet apiece, and amenities listed in the Schedule A include recreational rooms, storage for 28 bikes, an outdoor recreational area on the second floor, refuse rooms on each floor, and a rooftop terrace on the seventh floor. An 8,024-square-foot supermarket will occupy most of the ground floor, along with a 498-square-foot community facility. Radson Development is developing and Aufgang Architects is behind the design.

Developer Assembling Mixed-Use Site At 69-02 Queens Boulevard, Elmhurst

10:00 am on April 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Madison Realty Capital has acquired the vacant 29,000-square-foot lot at 69-02 – 69-08 Queens Boulevard, in Elmhurst, for $14.75 million. The purchase is the first of five properties that are currently being assembled for a mixed-use development, according to The Real Deal. Three other properties – the two-story structure at 46-12 70th Street, the single-story warehouse as 69-39 47th Avenue, and the restaurant at 69-20 Queens Boulevard – are currently in contract to be sold by their respective owners. The fifth property is a two-story cultural center at 69-23 47th Avenue. The single property Madison owns can accommodate roughly 145,000 square feet of development, but if successful in acquiring the entire assemblage, the developer could build a nearly 358,000-square-foot project. At that point, Madison plans to take a mixed-use rental project through the city’s Urban Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP).
