General Development: Bed-Stuy's Sumner Playground
Type: Park

A $4.9 million makeover is coming to Bed-Stuy’s Sumner Playground, officials said.

While the project for the major overhaul is still in its design phase, the 1.97 acre park is slated to become more “family-oriented,” a city Parks & Recreation representative said at a recent Brooklyn Community Board 3 meeting.

Plans for the green space, which is bordered by Sumner Avenue, Madison Street, Throop Avenue and Monroe Street, include an added basketball court, the installation of adult fitness equipment and $500,000 toward a renovated comfort station, officials explained during a presentation.

Project: 321 Warren St
City: Jersey City



Very High Resolution Rendering: http://www.padnajc.org/wp-content/up...oking-East.jpg

They are proposing a 15 story residential building with two ground floor commercial spaces. The ground floor would also contain the residential lobby, some auto parking, building service areas and bicycle storage. The building would be designed as a “Green” building with such features as car charging stations, low-flow fixtures, highly efficient appliances, etc. The design is still in flux, but the unit count is projected to be somewhere between 160 and 175 dwellings.

They are asking for an additional 25% more in height -15 stories (165ft) and 36+ additional units - taller than PAD Plan allows (125 feet) and with a FAR of 12-13 (max set for PAD transition zone is FAR: 8). There is already a plan to bring over ten electric charging stations on First Street – and their charging station would not be available for the public to use. There is only ground floor parking (only 20 spaces for 168 units and again, not open to public). Not sure how the neighborhood can absorb the extra vehicles (potentially +100).

Project: 144 1st St
City: Jersey City

The owners of 144 First Street – current tenant, Parlay Studios – presented a new design on October 30th, 7pm, based on the immediate feedback from attendees of the August 6th presentation. The architects moved the height on Second Street side of the building to the First Street side, reducing the height, but the unit count stayed the same. The design is almost identical to initial presentation – glass blocks and brick abstract section on Provost and rectangle on the lower portion four floors of First Street facade. Not industrial looking at all, very contemporary, similar to Toll Brothers down the street.

Project: 149 Kent Avenue

BuzzBuzz Home has spotted some construction fence renderings of the residential building coming to 149 Kent Avenue, where a Western Carpet warehouse was recently demolished. The project is being developed by L+M Development Partners, the same people behind the SPURA redevelopment plan, Northside Piers, the Adeline, and others. The architect of record is Leonard Fusco of GF55 Architects (Jupiter 21, +Art) and the building will be seven stories tall with 164 units and ground-floor retail, according to Department of Buildings permits. The signage at the site predicts that the project will be completed in Spring of 2016.

Project: 134 Vanderbilt Avenue

The permit, filed in late March, indicates a total construction floor area of nearly 65,000 square feet, with almost 41,000 square feet of usable residential space (for an average apartment size of a bit over 900 square feet) and an additional 3,000 square feet of community facility space. It also says the building will only be six stories tall, contradicting the rendering, although the total 80-foot height is consistent with the visual depiction. (The rendering also does not show ground-floor uses that would qualify as community facilities, and the retail spaces look larger than 3,000 square feet.) The developer is listed as Joel Goodman of All Year Management.

An LLC has filed applications for a six-story, 66,869 square-foot “administrative building” comprised of a community facility and 11,631 square feet of commercial space. The project will span 354-362 Neptune Avenue, where a single-story structure was demolished earlier this year, and Simino Architect is designing.

Note: Structure depicted was demolished.

Project: 11 Avenue C

BLDG Management is looking to build a $35.3 million residential building at a site that currently houses a gas station in the East Village.

The Lloyd Goldman-led company filed an application with the Board of Standards and Appeals to construct the proposed 46-unit, 10-story development, according to the New York Observer.

The lot at 11 Avenue C is located between East Houston Street, Avenue C and East Second Street. The building would include 4,550 square feet of ground floor retail space as well as 3,300 square feet for a retail tenant in the basement, the newspaper reported.

Project: 137-45 Northern Boulevard

Developers have filed an application to rezone a supermarket to build a new hotel in downtown Flushing, according to city records.

Chris and George Xu, who head the Century Construction Group Corp., are looking to build a 214,000 square-foot mixed-use building on the site of the Great Wall Supermarket, at 137-45 Northern Blvd. The rezoning would allow for an 11-story building which would include the 191-room hotel as well as 43 residential units, 11,000 square-feet of retail space and a 7,890-square-foot community facility. The Xus’ proposal also includes 155 parking spaces and 33 spots where bicycles can be locked up.

The rezoning would also affect portions of lots that are adjacent to the main site, where a 25,000-square-foot supermarket currently sits along with a 38-space parking lot.

The Xus, who could not be reached for comment, have long been involved in developing residential sites and building hotels in Flushing, including the Marriott Fairfield at the corner of College Point Boulevard and 30th Avenue.

The city has initiated the public approvals process, called the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, which will see the zoning application go before Community Board 7 and Borough President Melinda Katz for hearings and recommendations. It will then go to the City Planning Commission for approval before the City Council will get the last say.

If approved, the project is expected to be completed by 2017.

I'm not sure what kind of acid the architect was on when they included that copper screen?
=================================

Project: 538 Washington Avenue

At last we have a rendering for the long-stalled Scarano-designed building planned for 538 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill. We think it looks really good. We like the way the facade relates to the street with lots of windows, colors and different materials. It looks like there will be a copper-colored metal screen — with window-sized openings — covering balconies and hiding the massiveness of the building behind it.

Recently finished: 1339 Lincoln Place

A new affordable housing development, Utica Place, officially opened its doors yesterday at 1339 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, bringing 87 units of affordable housing and a youth center for a neighborhood church to the corner of Utica Avenue, according to a press release we received. The 12-story rental building offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedrooms for low-income New Yorkers, with rents ranging from $494 for a studio to $1,175 for a three-bedroom.

Renderings where released: (350 East Houston Street)

================================

Lloyd Goldman’s BLDG Management will formally apply later this month to build a $35.3 million, 46-unit residential building on the current site of a gas station in the East Village, according to an application document the developer filed with the city’s Board of Standards and Appeals and obtained by Commercial Observer.

The 5,874-square-foot site at 11 Avenue C sits on a trapezoidal lot between East Houston Street, Avenue C and East Second Street. The proposed 10-story, market-rate development would include 4,550 square feet on the ground floor and 3,300 square feet in the basement for a retail tenant, figures from an economic analysis attached to the application show.

Construction would begin in 2015 and proceed on a 14-month schedule if the one- and two-bedroom rental project gains approval from the board, said Caroline Harris, a partner at the Goldman Harris law firm who is representing BLDG. “They are applying for the variance since their economic study showed that a project built as-of-right on the site wouldn’t be economically feasible,” Ms. Harris added in a prepared statement. “We expect the Board of Standards and Appeals to approve the application.”

Nice basic looking building.

I wonder if the staff who does the SSP highrise count for NYC is using this thread as a template for new updates? I noticed the ticker for high rises, 5,895 in total, is rising a little slowly when there is evidence for many more projects going up that are not listed. Some of these projects fall into the constraints on what would go in such a count.

Even though this is a mid rise thread, some of these could be classified as high rises given that many are over a 100 feet, even if the floor count is less than 10, or several of them are 10 floors up to 12. For the threads sake, I classify midrises as 12 floors or below. Usually 6-12 floors. Some though view the definition of a highrise as over 10 floors and 100 ft or greater but this varies based on location, and who your asking.

In terms of statistics, keep in mind that NYC has 6500+ highrises and growing very rapidly. Extremely rapidly might I say. The SSP count of 5,895 as of today is very impressive, and I would urge that they go through this thread and add some more projects in as many of them would classify as high rises, even though they are placed in the mid rise thread. I usually put a title for every post with the address/floors/height on the top. It should make it easy.

If we look at the trends in mid rise construction, all of these will be built. In every post, there is usually evidence for the project happening, and in an advance stage of permits.

Project: 15 West 119th Street

15 West 119th Street: An LLC has filed applications to construct a six-story, 13-unit residential building of 10,716 square feet at the vacant lot of 15 West 119th Street, in Harlem. The site’s three-story predecessor was demolished in 2001, and Melamed Architect is designing.

Project: 47th Street (Recently renovated)

This newly renovated building, originally built in 1920, is located in the vibrant theater district and steps away from Times Square.
Renovation includes the addition of two floors, new apartment layouts and a new design of all facades. Eight newly designed and
fully equipped apartments will occupy each floor, from 1 bedroom units on the street level, 2 bedroom units at the existing higher
levels and a luxurious 4 bedroom duplex on the fifth floor, which will also have private access to a roof garden. A green oasis for
the new residents is created thanks to the continuity of the new landscaped common yard and the adjacent public garden.
