2:00 pm on January 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Forrest Gurl has filed applications for two three-story, six-unit residential buildings at 6-8 East 4th Street, in Windsor Terrace, located three blocks from the Fort Hamilton Parkway stop on the F and G trains. Each of them will measure roughly 8,700 square feet in total, and both will have exactly 6,634 square feet of residential space. Since there are six apartments in each building, the units will average 1,106 square feet apiece, which means condos are probably in the works. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The site’s former two-story townhouse and adjoining garage were demolished last year.

ULURP Kicks Off For 23-Story, 335-Unit Mixed-Use Building At 2 Sherman Avenue, Washington Heights

11:00 am on January 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) has officially kicked off for the proposed 23-story, 335-unit mixed-use building at 2 Sherman Avenue, in the Fort George section of Washington Heights, located four blocks from stops on either the A or 1 trains. The project, developed by Washington Square Partners and Acadia Realty Trust, will include retail space and a community facility. According to Politico New York, the project will be the first to utilize Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which requires developers to rent 30 percent of the residential units at below-market rates in exchange for a rezoning. The mayor’s program is expected to be voted on over the next few months. If the program is not established, the developers will go ahead with the city’s current system, which would require 20 percent of the units to be affordable. An existing two-story commercial building must first be demolished.

We stepped inside last week to see how the conversion is going.
