Eight-Story, 78-Unit Residential Building Tops Out At 2100 Bedford Avenue, Flatbush

In the final days of 2014, YIMBY reported on applications for an eight-story, 78-unit residential building at 2100 Bedford Avenue, in northern Flatbush, located within five blocks from stops on the Q, 2, and 5 trains. In early 2015, demolition was underway on three 2.5-story wood-framed houses, and by the summer the properties were cleared. Construction began sometime after, and within the last few weeks, the structure has topped out, as seen in photos by Tectonic. The 86,622 square-foot balconied structure will have 60,364 square feet of residential space, which means rental units will average 774 square feet apiece. Floral Park-based Metropolitan Homes is developing and Karl Fischer Architect is designing the project.


1456 Beach Channel Drive

New Community Center & Electrical Buildings Filed For 604-Unit Redfern Housing Complex, Far Rockaway

During Hurricane Sandy, apartments at Redfern Houses – a nine-building, 604-unit housing development at 1456 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway – were flooded and then left without power for weeks. The complex’s daycare was also destroyed, but the city’s Housing Authority looks to be making upgrades to its infrastructure in addition to building a new daycare center. The city filed permits to construct four single-story electrical power service buildings on the property, each of which would measure between 800 and 1,216 square feet in size. At 1490 Beach Channel Drive, a two-story, 14,295 square-foot community center was filed. That building would include a daycare center, offices, and storage on the ground floor and community space on the second floor. Michael Szerbaty’s MD Szerbaty Associates is the applicant of record.

Six Three-Story, Single-Family Homes Planned At 93 Ocean Avenue, Arrochar, Staten Island

Staten Island-based V&V Builders Corp. has filed applications for six three-story, single-family homes at 30-32 Guilford Street and 93-103 Ocean Avenue, in Arrochar, located on the eastern end of Staten Island. The houses will measure between 1,724 and 1,896 square feet each, which means the development will probably be marketed towards families. Staten Island-based Stanley Krebushevski, head of SMK Architects, is the applicant of record. The property is currently occupied by a two-story, single-family house, and demolition permits have not yet been filed.

Ground Broken for 99 Hudson Street, Jersey City, To Be New Jersey’s Tallest Tower

On Thursday, at a little before noon, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for 99 Hudson Street in Jersey City. Located on a site bounded by Hudson, Grand, Greene, and York streets, the 900-foot-tall mixed-use condominium tower will likely be the tallest building in the state and one of the tallest residential buildings in the entire country. The event not only kicked off construction, but also provided a venue to show off new renderings of the project.
