A rather sad little three-story storefront with apartments above it has been neglected for years at 1516 Fulton Street, on the corner of Throop Avenue and across the street from the entrance to the C train. But a new owner has taken over the site and plans to expand it to an eight-story apartment building.
Michael Kandhorov, of New York Equity Management, has filed applications for a six-story, six-unit residential building at 511 Herkimer Street, in southern Bedford-Stuyvesant, two blocks east of the Kingston/Throops stop on the C train. The building will measure just short of 6,000 square feet, making for full-floor units averaging nearly 1,000 square feet. Flushing-based Frank Quatela is the architect of record, and an existing three-story townhouse must first be demolished.
Property owner Ming Guan Guang has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 53-29 196th Street, in southern Auburndale near the Clearview Expressway. The building will measure 4,835 square feet in total, which means units will average 1,610 square feet and probably be split into duplexes. Chang Hwa Tan’s Tan Architect is the applicant of record, and an existing 1.5-story, single-family home must first be demolished.
Douglaston Development is moving forward with a townhouse project in Fort Greene, at 370-374 Clermont Avenue and 71 Greene Avenue. Originally filed in 2013, on the Clermont side, there will be two buildings, with three condominium units. One will be a four-story, single-family home, and the other will reach three stories and hold two units, averaging 3,885 square feet.
UPDATE: A tipster sends word that while Ismael Leyva is the architect of record, Robert A.M. Stern is the design architect.
Last September, YIMBY reported on the first permits for a new 13-story building coming to 70 Vestry Street, in Tribeca, right next to the West Side Highway. Since then, the site’s two existing structures have been torn down, and we can now reveal the first rendering for the project, which is being designed by Ismael Leyva Architects.
