Here's a project I've never heard of: the Singapore Chancery on East 48th Street.

Apparently the Korean Cultural Center is set to start construction soon as well.

Nice finds, those are pretty cool.

And the lot I'm talking about is actually that empty lot on the right side in this rendering. Didn't see anything on the 290 West lot though.

529 West 29th Street is a 15-story project that is well underway. It is developed by Related and located on the same block 500 West 30th Street.

Looks like some work has started at 435 West 50th Street, which is a Ralph Walker building that is being rehabilitated by the same developer who is doing the Walker Tower. It should turn out nice. Some details from Curbed follow:

Walker Tower Gets a Sequel With Hell's Kitchen Conversion

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

Now that sales at Walker Tower, the conversion of a Chelsea building designed by Ralph Walker, are underway, developers JDS and Property Markets Group can move on to their next project—another conversion of a Ralph Walker building a bit further uptown. That building is 435 West 50th Street, and the Observer notes that the project just got $25 million in funding from Starwood Capital last week. Congrats, friend! Above, a before-and-after of the conversion. Seventeen stories of the building will get the condo treatment, for a total of 65 residential units. Chelsea's Walker Tower definitely has the edge when it comes to location, but perhaps it will help to inspire a more widespread Walker fever that will help its 50th Street sibling.

This one unfortunately has turned out pretty crappy. Apparently the developers didn't get the memo this is New York, not communist East Berlin. Maybe they'll do something more with the cladding?

241 Fifth Avenue on the other hand has turned out quite nice.

Yes it is! And given how the Walker Tower is turning out, I would expect this conversion to be quite nice.

A new school is under construction on 15th Street just west of Union Square.

We're about to lose this glorious view.

133 Third Avenue project currently has a stop work order due to an accident that poured concrete through the wall of a neighboring building.

Update on 345 Meatpacking, located at 14th Street and 9th Avenue. The brickwork is nice, but overall the building is pretty banal and the window layout is messy.

I live very close to this, and it's an odd place for a hotel, but better than a parking lot.

Boutique hotel to rise at West Village parking lot site
January 08, 2013 08:30AM

"A new hotel project is set to spring up in the West Village, after an unidentified investor picked-up a parking lot at 152-154 Leroy Street for $10.25 million in cash, the New York Observer reported. All that is currently known about the buyer is that the person is a first-time New York City investor from the Midwest..."

Investor group breaks ground at Delancey Street condo project
January 10, 2013 02:30PM

"The groundbreaking for the Delancey Bridge Tower, located at 210 Delancey Street, took place recently, with an estimated completion date set for September 2015, Bowery Boogie reported. A group of 53 Chinese-American investors pooled together funds for the project after buying the site for $8.5 million, as previously reported. Foundation work at the project, located between Ridge and Pitt streets near the Seward Park development site, is already underway.

The condominium property will rise 12 stories high and have 69 units. There will also be an 8,352-square-foot community facility and 11 parking spots. As previously reported, the building will be designed by Michael Kang and secured Department of Buildings approval this past fall..."

Hopefully the larger site up a block or two on 6th isn't far behind...

28-Story Hotel/Apartment Combo To Rise on Stalled Remy Site
Monday, January 14, 2013, by Jessica Dailey

"When it comes to stalled construction sites, the lot at 101 West 28th Street on the corner of Sixth Avenue is a bit of a legend. Once upon a time, it was going to be home to the Remy, a slender, cantilevered 32-story condo tower, but that project never quite got off the ground, and the lot sat in stalled site purgatory for so long that the DOB ordered the foundation to be filled in.

Near the end of 2011, the site went into foreclosure, and now, finally, it seems like property may be reborn. New York YIMBY reports that new building permits have been filed, calling for a 28-story hotel/apartment building combo designed by architect Nobutaka Ashihara. No designs have been released, but DOB filings show that it will have 152 units and rise 296 feet. Construction photos and design deets are welcome on the tipline."
