YIMBY recently photographed two sites in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village that will soon give rise to new residential buildings. The properties are both located at the northern end of the neighborhood to the west of Union Square.
YIMBY photographed five low-rise residential construction projects currently underway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is continuing its boom of new housing developments. The projects include ground-up new construction, a vertical expansion, and the conversion of a former theater. Two of the developments are located within walking distance of the Bedford Avenue commercial corridor, while the final three are all taking shape along South 6th Street, just south of the Williamsburg Bridge.
New renderings have been revealed for 48-54 Branford Place, a 32-story residential tower in Newark, New Jersey. Designed by the Derosa Group for Branford Studios LLC, the 347-foot-tall structure will yield 441 units and ground-floor retail space. The Newark Landmarks Commission recently approved the development plan for the nearly half-acre L-shaped property, which is located between Washington and Halsey Streets.
Construction has topped out on 255 East 77th Street, a 500-foot-tall residential skyscraper in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects and developed by Naftali Group, the 36-story structure will span 170,481 square feet and yield 62 condominium units in two- to five-bedrooms layouts. The development will also contain 1,650 square feet of retail space, one cellar level, and 22 enclosed parking spaces. Hill West Architects is the architect of record for the property, which is alternately addressed as 1481 Second Avenue and located at the corner of Second Avenue and East 77th Street.
A redesign has been revealed for 280 Kent Avenue, a 36-story two-tower residential skyscraper along the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn. Designed by REX and developed by Two Trees, the structure is also referred to as Building B in the Domino Sugar master plan, which contains five buildings and the recently completed Domino Square park and plaza. The property spans an entire block bound by South 1st Street to the north, South 2nd Street to the south, Kent Avenue to the east, and River Street and the Domino Park esplanade to the west.
