Four Stories, Eight Residential Units Coming To 220 Withers Street, Williamsburg

Sheepshead Bay-based BK Developers Inc. has filed applications for two four-story, four-unit residential buildings at 220-222 Withers Street, in northern Williamsburg, four blocks north of the L train’s stop at Graham Avenue. Eight residential units will spread across 10,102 square feet, for an average unit measuring 1,263 square feet. Igor Zaslavskiy’s Sheepshead Bay-based Zproekt Architecture is designing, and permits were filed earlier this month to demolish existing single- and two-story homes.

Foundation Work Underway For 36-Story, 372-Unit Residential Building At 225 East 39th Street, Midtown East

Permits were filed early last year for a 36-story, 372-unit residential building at 225 East 39th Street/222 East 40th Street, in Midtown East, and YIMBY later revealed renderings of the project that summer. Since then, a six-story garage was demolished, and now foundation work is underway, per Curbed. The rental units — 20 percent of which will be let at below market rates — will spread across 343,187 square feet of space, with units averaging 922 square feet apiece. Fisher Brothers is developing, and Handel Architects is designing, with completion expected in 2017.
