After the local community board shot down plans for a 30-unit condo at 111 Leroy Street in the West Village in February, Property Markets Group has scaled down the size of their project between Hudson and Greenwich Streets. The developer filed applications yesterday for a 10-story condo building and five townhouses.
In mid-2014, YIMBY reported on applications for a 13-story, 24-unit mixed-use building at 32-06 Astoria Boulevard, in central Astoria, located a stone’s throw away from the N/Q trains’ stop on the same street. Lambros Houliaras, head of Astoria-based Double T Corp., recently scaled down the project and is now planning a six-story, 27-unit building. The 26,016 square-foot structure would include 4,273 and 743 square feet of retail and medical offices, respectively, on the ground floor. Beginning on the second floor, residential units would average a rental-sized 778 square feet apiece. The building will feature a rooftop terrace, and Long Island-based Constantine Efstathiou is the architect of record.
Property owner Thomas Mulzac, doing business as a Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for two four-story, multi-unit residential buildings at 766-768 Macon Street, in Ocean Hill, located three blocks from the Halsey Street stop on the J train. Each one will measure 4,983 square feet each, although one will contain four units and the other will have five units. Across the entire development, units will average 1,107 square feet apiece, which means both rentals or condos may be in the works. Michael McCaw’s Brooklyn-based McCaw Michael Ivanhoe Architect is the architect of record.
The Greenburgh Town Board has approved a deal to sell the former Frank’s Nursery property at 715 Dobbs Ferry Road, in the southern Westchester County town of Greenburgh, to Capital Seniors Housing LLC for $3.5 million. According to Westfair, the developer hopes to build a 90- to 100-unit assisted living facility for seniors on the 6.89-acre site. The town has put forward no more than $2 million to help remediate the property and Capital will have up to two years to receive the proper approvals and permits for construction. The property will not have to be rezoned, something the Board favored when they reviewed plans put forth by other developers. One such proposal called for a 200-unit apartment complex.
Herman Weiser, doing business as a Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, five-unit mixed-use building at 687 Myrtle Avenue, in northwestern Bedford-Stuyvesant. Located four blocks north of the G train’s stop at Bedford-Nostrand Avs., the 6,036 square-foot project will include 1,681 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Residential units begin on the second floor and will average 871 square feet apiece. One of units on the fourth floor will also feature a fifth-floor penthouse, and Greenwich Village-based De-Jan Lu Architect is the applicant of record. An existing two-story townhouse must first be demolished.
