Hudson Companies has filed plans for the two affordable pieces of its controversial redevelopment of the Brooklyn Heights Library, at 1043 Fulton Street and 907 Atlantic Avenue in Clinton Hill.
SI Northshore Enterprises has filed applications for two two-story, single-family homes on the block-through lot at 226-228 Gansevoort Boulevard, in Manor Heights, located centrally on Staten Island. The entire development will measure 3,927 square feet, which means each home will average 1,963 square feet. Staten Island-based Calvanico Associates is the architect of record, and an existing single-family home must first be demolished.
The bustling blocks of the mid to upper-40s are a bit of an urban oddity, existing within the low-rise confines of Hell’s Kitchen, but abutting the skyscraper canyons of Midtown. And while most of the area is already built-out, a few opportunities for infill both large and small still exist, like at 343 West 47th Street, where an existing structure from 1920 is now being renovated and expanded.
Most of Ditmas Park’s freestanding Victorians are protected by low-density zoning or landmarking, but there’s one at the corner of East 18th Street and Foster Avenue that’s primed for development.
Towards the end of last summer, the office-to-residential conversion of a 10-story building at 11 Beach Street, in Tribeca, was well underway. Now, YIMBY can share some additional renderings of the project, which has hit the 50% sold mark. The building’s 27 condominiums range from three to five bedrooms, and Thomas Juul-Hansen is designing the interiors. Amenities include a fitness center, children’s playroom, and a rooftop garden. HFZ Capital Group is developing, BKSK Architects is the design architect, and completion is expected in 2016.
