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: Brooklyn Navy Yard Renovation

New York City is investing $140 million to expand manufacturing and create 3,000 jobs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the project Monday. It builds on earlier city plans for what's known as Building 77, a World War II-era warehouse currently used for "passive storage," officials said. Windows will be added to the lower floors, creating attractive workspace for prospective tenants, with plans to open doors by mid- to late 2016.

The space is much needed, as the Navy Yard has no vacancies and a long wait list. Existing tenants will get first dibs on the new space in Building 77. After that, the Navy Yard's corporation will open it up to those on the wait list. More than 100 prospective tenants have been seeking to get or expand space in the Navy Yard, according to the city.

Project: 1561 Walton Avenue

The 60-unit building is being developed by the Settlement Housing Fund, alongside the Briarwood Organization, who is also acting as the general contractor. The units will be affordable to households making 40 percent to 90 percent of the area median income, with average median income defined here as around $60,000 for an individual or $86,000 for a family of four.

Construction, we’re told, is set to begin in July 2015.

The units will be fairly large, at around 900 square feet on average, spread over 54,000 square feet of residential space. The project’s total cost was listed as $20 million, and it will sit on a former parking lot.

Project: 112 Atlantic Avenue

Landmarks praised BKSK Architects for its “contextual” design for a mixed-use building to replace a gas station at 112 Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill, but asked the architects to scale down the windows, particularly on the side of the building on Henry Street, and reduce the bulkhead on the roof. Only one attendee at the meeting Tuesday spoke in favor of the building as it was, and the Cobble Heights Association and others spoke against it, New York YIMBY and The Brooklyn Eagle reported.

Project: 1702 East 9th Street

Z & K Realty Developers is planning to construct a 162,4370-square-foot commercial building in Brooklyn’s Homecrest neighborhood, city records indicate.

Z & K, led by Alex Klein and Yi Han, are proposing construction of a 10-story building at 1702 East 9th Street. Daniel Goldner Architects is designing the building. The site currently houses a one-story, 8,000-square-foot auto body shop.

The project calls for 147 hotel rooms, a synagogue and an eating and drinking establishment.

The Queens-based developer bought the property in February for $5.9 million, according to city records. That transaction also included the adjacent 815 Kings Highway, a 39,000-square-foot commercial building. Earlier this fall, the developer applied for a permit to demolish both structures.

Representatives from Z & K and Daniel Goldner Architects were not immediately available for comment.

Plans for the new building also include a 261-car parking garage to accompany the new building. The project is pending zoning approval from the city.

I can't believe that part of Central Manhattan has so many low-rise buildings. Why? It leaves the Midtown skyline with a huge gap in many photos...

[chris08876]

Yea theres a couple of gaps every once in a while when it comes to Midtown. Remember, Midtown wasn't always tall towers. It started out as low/mid rises and eventually taller towers grew. In the future these are bound to be developed.

Lots of smaller structures amongst taller ones.

Hopefully these get developed.

Project: 1809 Emmons Avenue

A seven-story condominium building with ground-level retail, abundant parking and a 9,000-square-foot landscaped public plaza will soon be constructed at Sheepshead Bay Road and Emmons Avenue, replacing El Greco Diner, the new owners told Sheepshead Bites in an exclusive interview.

Buyer Sergey Rybak detailed his preliminary plans following the $13 million sale of the 1809 Emmons Avenue property on Friday, which he purchased with partner Jason Reznik under the name 1809 Emmons Avenue LLC. Rybak’s company, Rybak Development, is overseeing construction.

Rybak Development already has a track record in the area. The company is part owner of the MatchPoint NYC sports complex on Shell Road, and is developing several luxury condominium projects in the area, including 3041 Ocean Avenue and 104 West End Avenue, as well as commercial projects like 1810 Voorhies Avenue. Their roster of developments is almost exclusively in Southern Brooklyn.

At the moment, all plans shared with Sheepshead Bites, including the plaza and the layout of the building, are subject to change. The final project, he hopes, will be as-of-right, meaning no approval from the Community Board or Board of Standards and Appeals will be required – but that can change, too.

Project: 39-35 27th St

“The offering presents a unique opportunity to acquire a full or partial interest in a hotel in the construction phase, in one of the most rapidly developing hotel markets in the New York metro area,” said Andrew Posil, director of sales at Massey Knakal, which is marketing the building.

Construction on the hotel is one-third complete, according to the real estate firm. It will be 38,000 square feet and have 79 rooms when finished.

Update:

Update to the project on page 1; post #3 (In the middle of the post as it has several projects)

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.”
