Aside from 130 Mount Vernon, a lot of the mid-rises we've seen on this thread lately are pretty top notch.

[NYC2ATX]

That West 77th building is just unbelieveably beautiful. The Upper East and West Sides really take the crown for incredible contextual projects. Each one enhances the signature built environments of these neighborhoods moreso even then the last.

Under Construction: 44-28 Purveys Street in LIC

LAUREN ELKIES SCHRAM

Long Island City is getting what is likely the first new LEED Silver-designed apartment building in Queens that utilizes both solar and wind power.

In addition to the LEED certification, the two-building project is slated for acceptance into the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority New Construction Program, and has been accepted into the Brownfield Cleanup Program; it is currently in the process of being cleaned up.

Under development by Brause Realty and Gotham Organization with a design by FXFOWLE, the 35-story residential rental complex at 44-28 Purves Street, bordered by Thomson Avenue and 44th Drive, is also going through the feng shui certification process, which will “ensure proper energy [moves] through the project,” said FXFOWLE’s Gustavo Rodriguez.

David Brause, the president of Brause Realty, said: “Wind, water and the energies of the environment are important to incorporate into the design of a building.”

The building design calls for a wind turbine producing power as well as a solar power screen, a green roof, ample outdoor space and water retention tanks.

The 267,000-square-foot development will have 270 market-rate units, 26,300 square feet of amenities, 15,000 square feet of outdoor space and 75 parking spaces. Apartments will range from studios to one- and two-bedroom units, all market rate and ranging from 600 to 1,200 square feet. The rents are likely to be in the high-$50s to low-$60s per square foot, Mr. Brause said.

The amenity package is extensive, from a landscaped serenity courtyard, to a fitness center and movement studio, to a recreational courtyard that links to the two buildings and has a V-shaped pool with a 50-foot lap lane, to a grilling and bar area with communal seating and grass that looks onto a large weather-resistant movie screen. In total, the project will have more than 8,300 square feet of indoor amenity space and nearly 17,000 square feet of outdoor amenity space.

Mr. Rodriguez noted that the design and development teams “wanted to do something that was unique to the neighborhood, something that spoke to the newness and to the [spunk] and reality of the past.” In addition, he said, “We tried to make sure there’s a little bit of everything [in terms of amenities] for everyone.”

Facade materials will include “rougher metal,” Mr. Rodriguez said, as well as glass.

"The aesthetic of the project will combine the gritty industrial feel and history of Long Island City with the modern luxuries of a state-of-the-art residential building,” according to a press release the developers issued about the ground-breaking on April 22. Completion is expected in two years, Mr. Brause said.

“Too many buildings, particularly on the waterfront, are out of character with the neighborhood and look like they could be in Miami,” Mr. Brause said. “Instead of wiping out its industrial past, we embraced it.”

REBECCA BAIRD-REMBA
MAY 6, 2015

Boaz Gilad’s Brookland Capital is one of the most prolific small condo developers in Brooklyn, with projects under construction from the Williamsburg waterfront all the way down to East Flatbush. Now they’ve ventured away from Bed Stuy and Crown Heights and into more established condo territory with a development at 15th Street and 4th Avenue in Park Slope.

Plans filed in December say the building at 550 4th Avenue will rise 11 stories with 30 apartments, but Gilad tells YIMBY it will have 38 units. Based on the filing, those 30 apartments would be spread across 31,859 square feet of residential space, averaging out to fairly spacious units at 1,061 square feet a piece.

Chelsea- and Bed Stuy-based firm RoArt dreamed up the rendering, and Feingold and Gregory Architects, headquartered on the Upper West Side, are the architects of record.

This design is definitely a cut above the average PTAC-covered, cast concrete building on Fourth Avenue. The glassy tower sits atop a 5,000-square-foot retail base with two commercial spaces. Staggered balconies and a setback beginning at the eighth floor help break up the building’s mass, and the varying blocks of windows add a bit of flair.

Apartments will begin on the second floor, which will have three units, followed by four each on the fourth through seventh floors, two on the ninth and tenth floors, and then an eleventh-story penthouse. Amenities will include a gym in the cellar, storage, and an 870-square-foot terrace on the second floor.

The building will replace a supermarket on the corner of Fourth Avenue and two three-story frame houses on 15th Street, but the DOB hasn’t approved demo permits yet. Brookland picked up the three lots, which total just over 7,000 square feet, for $3,100,000 last year.

Zoning here is pretty favorable, because it requires active uses on the ground floor (either commercial or community facilities) and waives parking for properties smaller than 10,000 square feet, like this one.

Thanks for the update, and keeping with the format on the 1st page sparkling.

44-28 Purves Street is amazing.

Project: 143-145 Madison Avenue

What will be replaced:

Kahen Properties has filed plans for a 21-story building at 145 Madison Avenue in NoMad, according to a permit application filed with the city’s Department of Buildings Tuesday.

The filing shows the new 210-foot development, between East 31st and East 32nd Streets, would feature 71 apartments over 56,618 square feet of residential space, as well as 2,477 square feet of commercial space in the building’s cellar and first floor. It does not specify whether the project is a rental or condominium building.

The second floor will house a single apartment and 1,612 square feet of recreation space for residents, according to filings, with four apartments on each of the third through 15th floors and three units on each of the 16th through 21st floors. Permits have yet to be filed to demolish the existing six-story office building at 143-145 Madison Avenue.

Project: 142 West 29th Street

What will be replaced:

Earlier today, a new building application was filed for a 14-story mixed-use building at 142 West 29th Street, roughly halfway between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Chelsea.

Designed by Young Ho Kim of Concept Design Group, the project would have 37 apartments spread over 26,690 square feet of residential space, for an average unit size of just 720 square feet—likely rentals. The ground floor would hold 3,200 square feet of ground floor retail, topped by two to three apartments per floor through the 13th story. On the top two floors, there would be two duplex penthouses and a roof deck.

Rising 185 feet into the air, the new building would likely surpass its 12-story neighbors on either side, which are large prewar industrial buildings converted to office space.

This building will need zoning approval from the Board of Standards and Appeals (as the application notes), because the site is zoned only for manufacturing and commercial uses.

I feel like New York is doubling its amount of current skyscrapers by the end of the decade. That might not even be much of an exaggeration.

Project: WeWork/WeLive at Navy Yard

S9′s plan for the new structure would extend it along an existing pier, which juts into the East River. While YIMBY does not have exact details, a rough count indicates the project would rise 14 stories tall, and if previous reports regarding WeWork are correct, it will measure over 500,000 square feet. Either way, it would be substantially larger than any of the office projects under construction elsewhere in Brooklyn at the moment.

In terms of design, the building features an expansive first floor, criss-crossed by diagonal beams that act as visual supports for the rest of the structure, which appears to be faced in concrete. Zig-zags of glass cross the upper envelope, and the end result acts as a contemporary complement to the old industrial buildings that stand nearby.

The exact mix between WeWork and WeLive is unknown but the rendered structure measures approximately 600,000 gross square feet, leaving plenty of room for both to operate under the same roof. The floor area is stepped back in three primary setbacks, each of which is topped with usable green space for the building’s occupants.

WTC Hub

So yesterday I was at the WTC taking some photos of the New train station that had opened on Wednesday. I wasn't there for more then 30 seconds when the guard approached me pointing a Flash light and yelling at me to stop taking photographs... I had read a Hudson reporter article saying that it was legal to do so , which I told him. He said I had to delete my photos , I told I wasn't.... After a few more minutes oh arguing with him over it , he decides to give up and walk away. But as he was walking he said something threatening , I couldn't make it out...but I decided to call him out on it...which I realize was a mistake... He comes back over even more aggressive then the first time. I then ask for his name so I could report him , he refuses...so I go to take his photograph and he tries to reach for my camera. I decided to leave the station not wanting to escalate things further and on my way up I spoke with a staffer about the rules...Which he seemed unsure of...

During this whole time , numerous other people were taking photos with there phones....I guess because I had the big DSLR I drew attention to myself. But over the last few days 100s of photos of the station have been taken... I didn't delete the photos if your wondering I uploaded them to my Flickr... I know the PA had a Photography ban in the past , but over the last few years it has been quietly removed... I do hear of people being harassed in the Aviation & Bridge community from time to time...by Security Guards.. I don't spend much time at PA facilities aside from the WTC... I never saw any signs on the PATH , only a few at the Bus Terminal which were removed last year...and a few on the Bridges which were removed from what ive heard.

The Article where it says it legal http://www.hudsonreporter.com/view/f...ideographers-?

I did manage to take a few photos before I was yelled at...

As of now, New York has 80 buildings over 200m (com, t/o, u/c)! If we add prep and pro buildings, the city is at 135.

[munchymunch]

It's impressive but it's New York, it's a miracle that New York didn't have more supertalls before Chicago.

Miami will lose those supertall proposal's due to the faa

[chris08876]

Yea unfortunately Miami seems bound to have a lot of 900 footers. FAA has a tantrum for anything over 1000 feet. In the past, proposals have been 1,100 feet, but often cut. What we may wind up seeing is one or two supertall just slide by. But a positive for Miami is the number of 700+ footers in the pipeline. Its impressive for a city of less than 600,000. Capital Brickell Towers site also promises the tallest project in the cities history according to China Construction Corp.. Thats what they say, but lets see once the FAA see's it.

As for NYC, I credit much of the boom to Bloomberg's policies and pro-business attitude. He was a good mayor I feel, and set the stage through his rezonings for future growth. Not just in Manhattan, but Brooklyn and Queens. Either way, today is a historical day as Nordstrom will dethrone WTC1, and good too.

Lastly,

intheburg , awesome first post. Thanks for contributing.

Feel free in the future to add projects. I only ask that you order it according to the first page format and neatly. Example, title, double check that its not added in any of the pages, and use quotes, source underneath.

Sad, but even if 900 footers, Miami is going to be much more similar to Chicago than Chicago to NYC in terms of the top 50. It's an extraordinary re-distribution of skyline height in a decade's time.

I agree. Construction is a lagging indicator; the current boom is like light from the nearest stars--what we see now happened five or ten years ago.

[hunser]

Chicago never had 5 supertalls to the roof. It has 4: Sears, Trump, Aon, JHC.

Anway, good post intheburg. You can gather more information on the New York supertall thread which gets updated on a daily basis.
