One of the big empty lots in Williamsburg’s Broadway Triangle is about to become a seven-story apartment building. Plans were filed yesterday to erect a 70-foot-tall residential development at 7 Whipple Street, on the corner of Flushing Avenue.
The existing building has been completely demolished at 11-51 47th Avenue on the southern tip of Long Island City, clearing the way for the 11-story condominium tower that will house 56 units and rise 125 feet.
Property owner Kenneth Wong has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit residential building at 2125 72nd Street, in Bensonhurst, located 10 blocks south of the 20th Avenue stop on the N train. The structure will measure 4,050 square feet in total, and the family-sized units will average a very spacious 2,025 square feet apiece, spanning across two full floors. Anthony Lee’s Lower Manhattan-based AJR Architecture is the applicant of record. A very recessed, single-family home must first be demolished.
Boaz Gilad’s Brookland Capital has filed applications for a five-story, 38-unit residential building at 652 Madison Street, in central Bedford-Stuyvesant, located 10 blocks north of the Utica Avenue stop on the A and C trains. The 26,000 square-foot structure will boast units averaging 684 square feet apiece, indicative of rentals. Feingold & Gregory Architects is designing. The 130-foot-wide development site is comprised of three tax lots, two of which are currently occupied by two-story, single-family houses. The third is vacant.
Urban View Realty has filed applications for a four-story, five-unit residential building at 230 Withers Street, in northern Williamsburg, located four blocks from the Graham Avenue stop on the L train. The structure will measure 5,717 square feet in total, which means units will average a spacious 1,143 square feet apiece. The unit on the fourth floor will also feature a fifth-floor penthouse, and Woody Chen’s Elmhurst-based Infocus Design & Planning is the applicant of record. An existing two-story townhouse must first be demolished.
