In April of 2014, YIMBY revealed renderings of the eight-story, 32-unit mixed-use project at 1770 Madison Avenue, in East Harlem on the corner of East 116th Street. Later the same year, the building topped out, and today the structure is fully clad and wrapping up construction, Harlem+Bespoke reports. The building measures 47,857 square feet in its entirety, and includes 5,124 square feet of retail on the ground and cellar levels, 6,310 square feet of medial offices on the second floor, and 25,241 square feet of residential space. The units will average 789 square feet apiece, and seven of them will rent at below-market rates through the housing lottery. Low Income Marketing Group is developing and Avinash K. Malhotra Architects is the architect of record. Opening is probable within the next few weeks.

ULURP Kicks Off For 23-Story, 335-Unit Mixed-Use Building At 2 Sherman Avenue, Washington Heights

11:00 am on January 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) has officially kicked off for the proposed 23-story, 335-unit mixed-use building at 2 Sherman Avenue, in the Fort George section of Washington Heights, located four blocks from stops on either the A or 1 trains. The project, developed by Washington Square Partners and Acadia Realty Trust, will include retail space and a community facility. According to Politico New York, the project will be the first to utilize Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which requires developers to rent 30 percent of the residential units at below-market rates in exchange for a rezoning. The mayor’s program is expected to be voted on over the next few months. If the program is not established, the developers will go ahead with the city’s current system, which would require 20 percent of the units to be affordable. An existing two-story commercial building must first be demolished.

Ground-Floor Retail Planned In 20-Story Office Building At 601 West 26th Street, West Chelsea

11:00 am on January 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

RXR Realty is planning to convert the ground floor of the Starrett-Lehigh Building – a 20-story, 2.3-million square-foot office building at 601 West 26th Street, in West Chelsea – into 50,000 square feet of retail space. The building, built in 1931 and designed by Cory & Cory, is an individual landmark and sits within the West Chelsea Historic District, which means the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approve the plans. According to Crain’s, new retail will span the full length of Eleventh Avenue between West 26th and 27th Streets. Verizon previously occupied the ground and second floors of the property along Eleventh Avenue but agreed to relocate within the building. An architecture firm has not been selected, although construction is tentatively expected to begin next year.
