YIMBY recently checked in on the progress of four low-rise residential and commercial projects in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The developments are all located within close proximity of the N train at the 8th Avenue subway station, and are characteristic of the smaller scale construction transforming the outer boroughs in conjunction with the larger projects typically highlighted in our coverage.
Permits have been filed for a 12-story residential building at 1917 Morris Avenue in Mount Hope, The Bronx. Located between East Tremont Avenue and East 177th Street, the lot is near the Tremont Avenue subway station, served by the B and D trains. Andrea Gjini of 781-783 Elsmere Place is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Construction is finished on 18W55, a 25-story residential building at 18 West 55th Street in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed and built by Skyline Developers, the 289-foot-tall structure spans 153,104 square feet and yields 97 rental units with an average scope of 1,319 square feet. The project also includes 6,380 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 10,343-square-foot cellar level. The property is located on a formerly vacant interior lot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Construction is progressing on Thrive, a three-story residential building at 273 Shrewsbury Avenue in Red Bank, New Jersey. Designed by CPA Architecture and developed by non-profit Parents With A Plan, the 34,000-square-foot structure will yield 32 one-bedroom rental apartments for adults with autism, with five units dedicated to affordable housing. The project will also include a 923-square-foot office for the Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services on the ground floor. The property is located at the corner of Shrewsbury Avenue and Dr. James Parker Boulevard.
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is set to review a proposal for a new mixed-use building at 122-124 Greenpoint Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by OPerA Studio, the project would replace a one-story structure at 122 Greenpoint Avenue and redevelop an existing former firehouse building at 124 Greenpoint Avenue, retaining its limestone front façade. If approved, the new development would contain ten residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The property is located between Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street.
