SL Green Realty has filed applications for a four-story, 6,020 square-foot commercial building — rising 57 feet tall — at 719 7th Avenue, in Midtown’s Theater District. The job description states the building will be solely for retail, and will feature signage above the roof. TPG Architecture is designing, and the existing three-story building was approved for demolition back in December.
Per The Real Deal, the Salvation Army has sold the development site spanning 176-180 Bedford Avenue, in northern Williamsburg, to Thor Equities for $36.1 million, which equates to $2,500 per square-foot. The site boasts 14,400 square feet of building potential, and undisclosed construction plans will almost surely include a large retail component.
Brownstoner stopped by recently at 247 Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg, where a multi-level structure is being converted and expanded to accommodate its new retail tenant, Apple. Renderings of the project were revealed by YIMBY earlier this year, and opening is expected this year.
212 Fifth Avenue will see new life as a residential building. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved changes to the structure, which was originally constructed as an office building in 1913. The redevelopment of the building is being done by Building & Land Technology, Madison Equities and Thor Equities.
Today, Landmarks approved the design for a new eight-story residential building with ground floor retail at 146-150 Wooster Street in SoHo.
