I am starting to think there's a conspiracy to strip NY piece by piece of all its character.

I absolutely share your frustration. My keen intuition tells me though that the building to its' west will probably also be acquired. They're shooting for a tall development here and they cannot accomplish that with 25 feet of frontage.

Building design looks nice, but walls less than an inch thick? I wonder how that affects sound insulation? I understand that living in NY one expects some level of exterior sound, but having walls less than an inch thick would practically allow one to hear people thinking to themselves on the street.

I'd imagine its some high quality, highly dense material. Given the location, sound will be an issue if its made of bad material, but I'm sure they considered that. When units are going for extraordinary amounts, the clients will demand sound insulation. There will always be a slight muffle even with windows closed, but not on the level of some older buildings in Queens for example where you can here those ghetto Honda civics with the big pipes all day (never understood that btw, just buy a Mercedes if you want car performance). They could plaster the concrete to reduce sound issues. If its full of holes or porous, sound will leak.

Project: 147-20 94th Avenue

New building applications have been filed for a second big high-rise residential project near Jamaica’s transit hub. Harlem-based Artimus Construction wants to develop a 26-story apartment building at 147-20 94th Avenue, between Sutphin Boulevard and 148th Street. It would hold 380 apartments spread across 299,062 square feet of residential space, with average units of 787 square feet.

Residential would begin on the second floor, with nine units, followed by 19 units each on the third through fifth floors, 16 each on the sixth through 24th floors, and 10 units on the 25th floor. Several units would have private terraces, and there would also be a shared roof deck on the top floor. Amenities would fill the second floor, like a yoga room, children’s play room, exercise room, and another communal terrace. And the ground floor would host a 58-car garage, along with the lobby.

The building will likely be rentals, and the developers get to build bigger in exchange for including below-market units. The city requires that at least 20 percent of the apartments, or 76 units, rent at affordable rates. The other 80 percent will be market-rate.

GF55 Partners will be responsible for the design.

Another day another bullshit setback accompanied by a mediocre, near thoughtless design. NY DOB when are you going to address the zoning issue that forces unfortunate massing like this?

Project: 25-24 Jackson Avenue

Its 11 stories will rise 125 feet into the air. The entire project will measure 62,908 square feet, with 57,914 square feet devoted to the residential portion. With 73 units, that works out to an average size of about 793 square feet each. That indicates rentals are likely.

Residential units will begin with seven on the second floor, eight each on floors three through 10, and two on the 11th floor. Renderings show terraces for many of them. There will be parking for 37 bicycles. Filings also list a 1,703-square-foot recreation room on the 11th floor. If you subtract that from the residential square footage, average unit size goes down to more like 770 square feet each.

The project also includes 4,994 square feet of commercial space. That will be for office space in the cellar, an office lobby on the first floor, and retail on the first floor.

The site sits across Thompson Avenue from Court Square Park and around the corner from Rafferty Triangle. At Court Square is easy access to the subway’s E, G, M, and 7 trains. That will mean about a 15-minute ride to the Times Square subway hub and a couple of minutes’ shorter ride to the station at Grand Central Terminal.

The 11-story mixed-use building will replace a two-story commercial structure that used to include a Domino’s pizza and the ENC Market. The developer is listed as a Tom Wu, operating as a Great Neck, Long Island-based LLC.

The bulkhead looks horrible, too...

Project: 41-62 Bowne Street

The 14-story development will have two stories of retail and a school, topped by eleven stories of apartments. The residential portion will be set back, but the first two floors appear to break the street wall, extending past the facade of the pre-war apartment block next door.

The design will be fairly simple and modern, incorporating white panelling, large windows, and plenty of glassy balconies on each of the upper floors. Angelo & Anthony Ng’s Architects Studio, based in Maspeth, is responsible for the design and the rendering.

When construction wraps, there will be 84 apartments, an 11,400-square-foot school, and 12,000 square feet of retail. Those apartments will be distributed across 64,162 square feet of residential space, creating relatively small condos with an average size of 760 square feet. Little condos are pretty common in Flushing, where Chinese buyers often value affordability more than space. But everywhere else in the city, these apartments would be rentals.

Yeah, that appears to be the case. The overhang and windows lets you know it grabbed all of its air rights. The turd (lol) won't grow any bigger but it can always be re-faced though.

That is some rampant-ass capitalism right there.

I agree with the refacing. At most, it could be salvaged by being turned into a nice retail low rise. Possibly 3 or 4 floors, with a nice facade. At least I hope.

That, and the red building in the background with the exposed wall. It kinda does suck having a slick and wicked design, yet have neighbors which are just blah. Kinda like people who buy luxury condos, and one window has a view of a brick wall.

It probably deserves it's own thread, but another 500 ft.+ tower is likely coming to the Billionaires Row area-

It will be the site at 106 W. 56 Street, though obviously the site could grow. No comments yet from the developer (Savanna Partners, which builds lots of condos downtown).

Could Billionaires’ Row be set for another skinny tower?

Probable high rise based on the sq footage and may rise here. Will reference this post when it happens. We might be looking at something in the 20 to 21 floor range.

Project: 530 Sixth Avenue

The Duell family is back in the market, selling off pieces of its once-large New York City portfolio of commercial and multifamily property.

The family is arranging to sell 530 Sixth Ave., a 17,000-square-foot commercial building on the corner of West 14th Street best known for the Moscot Eyewear store on the building’s second floor, to Gary Barnett, according to a person familiar with the property. Barnett is building a residential spire at 225 W. 57th St. and scooped up the former Pathmark site at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue from Harlem’s Abyssinian Development Corp.

No price has yet been published for the Sixth Avenue deal. City records show that 126,750 square feet of residential space can be built on the site—likely a big draw for a busy residential builder like Barnett.

The Duells sold an apartment building at 200 E. 34th St. in December for $11 million, to a company whose sole owner is Dov Hertz, executive vice president for acquisitions at Barnett’s Extell Development. The building is known for the Cinema Cafe & Bar restaurant in its base.

Barnett also purchased 27 Washington Square North, a seven-story apartment building on the corner of Macdougal Street, according to a person familiar with the transaction. City records list the sale price in that deal as $20 million. The purchaser is a limited-liability company offering few clues to its ownership.
