NEW YORK | MID/LOW RISES | General Developments Updates/Compilation

Project: 1060 Bedford Avenue

Now for the details: The 22,474 square foot building will have 24 apartments as well as ground floor retail, a gym, a lounge and space to store 16 bicycles according to the original permit application. However that application was disapproved in December.

The lot was originally put on the market for $5,500,000 in July of 2013. It sold a year later for $4,645,000. The garage on the site has been knocked down but the developer still has to remove contaminated soil and fuel tanks.

When we first posted about the sale, commenters were excited about the possibility of the ground floor retail space- — particularly for a tenant like Duane Reade.

But new apartment buildings in Bed Stuy have lately come under fire from local residents and preservationists who say they don’t fit in well with Bed Stuy’s historic architecture.

Project: 42-05 Parsons Boulevard (Finished this month; April)

Triangle Equities has wrapped up construction on a Flushing, Queens mixed-use building, Commercial Observer has learned.

The developer has finished the nine-story 42-05 Parsons Boulevard between Sanford and Franklin Avenues and has closed on half of the 14 condos in the 28,456-square-foot building, said Brett Goldman, the director of acquisitions at Triangle Equties. He expects the rest of the residences—selling from $550,000 to $1 million—to close within the next month.

Alice Wong of Block & Lot Real Estate Management, a Flushing-based brokerage, has been marketing the apartments for Triangle.

“She has done a great job selling our units,” Mr. Goldman said. “We had a pretty good reception in the market.”

The condos take up nearly 22,000 feet of the building, with the majority two-bedroom and one bath. Three-bedroom penthouses are on the eighth and ninth floor. It also features five units of office space, which together take up 6,755 square feet.

Project: 387 Manhattan Avenue

Developers are snapping up lots near the BQE in East Williamsburg every chance they get, and now the increasingly pricey hood will get a six-story mixed-use apartment building at 387 Manhattan Avenue. New building applications were filed today for the 18,429-square-foot development, which will fill a vacant lot between Frost and Withers Streets, half a block from the highway and Meeker Avenue.

The first floor will feature nearly 5,000 square feet of retail, and offices for a community facility will occupy 7,000 square feet on the second and third floors. Finally, the fourth through sixth floors will have 12 rental apartments—ten one-bedrooms and two studios—as well as a roof terrace. They’ll be divided across 10,958 square feet of residential space, making the average unit about 913 square feet.

Project: 555 Grand Street

The Department of Buildings recently approved plans to transform a humble three-story brick storefront with apartments in Williamsburg into this metallic-looking six-story building. The century-old building at 555 Grand Street will expand from two apartments to 12, and gain 3,000 square feet of residential space for a new total of 8,668 square feet.

Project: 26 West Street

This unremarkable and frankly odd looking apartment building designed by the one and only Karl Fischer will replace an equally unremarkable one-story office building on the Greenpoint waterfront (h/t YIMBY). The six-story building at 26 West Street between Oak and Cayler streets is being developed by the Rabsky Group and will have 72 apartments, 36 parking spots, bike storage, a recreation room, and an 1,100-square-foot roof deck. According to plans spotted by YIMBY, the building will also be equipped with flood seals meaning that it's pretty much a proverbial Noah's Ark of bad design.

General Map Update: 50 Developments Planned in Flatbush

Interactive Map (Click balloons to see afress of development): http://theqatparkside.blogspot.com/2...-balloons.html

A fascinating map provided by neighbor Jacob Garchik shows just how quickly we've become awash in new building development. It sure makes me feel popular, given the number of these developments right near my home. Actually, PS92 might be the epicenter. Note the extraordinary power of landmarking. If you zoom in you'll see just how protected is the Lefferts Manor and it's slightly bigger Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. Not to put to fine a point on it, but just imagine what this could be like if each and every project was required to build means-tested housing?

Project: 212 East 14th Street (Recently finished)

After nearly a two-year gut renovation and one-floor extension … workers have removed the scaffolding and construction netting from 212 E. 14th St. near Third Avenue.

Project: 424 Melrose Street

Brooklyn made strides for sustainable homes when it revealed NYC’s very first certified passive house, and now it has two more passive house projects on the horizon. The new multi-family homes by architect Chris Benedict will be built in the Bushwick area, and both properties will have 24 units that live up to stringent energy-efficiency standards. Each of the new passive house units will provide 30,000 square feet of living space for Brooklynites at 424 Melrose Street and 803 Knickerbocker Avenue – and construction on the Melrose location is already underway!

Project: 156 Rivington Street

The renderings on the architect's website (also shown in the gallery above) have a certain passive house aesthetic, and indeed, the building will be both a passive house?a building designed to meet German standards of near-total airtightness and energy efficiency?and built in keeping with LEED standards. Very green! And since we're talking about an arts collective, the 9,000-square-foot building will include exhibition and performance space. But not everything about the building is arts-specific: there's a green roof and a second-floor terrace, too.

Project: Beach Green North

Beach Green North, a 101-unit planned Passive House certified apartment building currently being planned as part of a two phase development in the Rockaways. Co-developed in conjunction with L+M Equity Development Partners Inc. and Triangle Equities, groundbreaking is anticipated for the Summer of 2015.

The project will incorporate many innovative features to get it to achieve record breaking low energy consumption levels including: the use of insulated concrete forms, energy recovery ventilation throughout, variable refrigerant flow central air source heat pumps to provide both heating and cooling, and a large solar photovoltaic array for renewable on-site electricity production.

Project: Collegiate School

Locals will have a chance to weigh in on where the city should build affordable housing using a $50 million contribution from Collegiate School earmarked for the units.

Residents can help generate a list of "creative ideas" about where the city should build the units in the neighborhood at a meeting early next month, said Nick Prigo, chairman of Community Board 7's housing committee.

Originally, the private K-8 boys school agreed to construct 55 affordable housing units within the Riverside South development in exchange for building a new school at that site.

Project: 1444 3rd Avenue

Demolition is now well underway at the future new development (presumably condos) at 1444 Third Avenue. While the two buildings on the southwest corner of East 82nd Street and Third Avenue are being brought down brick by brick, the final product, seems far from etched in stone at this point. ODA Architecture describes the 10 story structure as having the "elegance of limestone townhouses of Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue modernized" and will offer "individual floor homes". The rendering was leaked fully two years ago, yet the permit for this structure appears remain in limbo. In fact, several permits have been disapproved, rejected, or pending as the development challenge process continues "pending zoning approval." Perhaps the as-of-right square footage of 26,000 is in question? Considering the scale of other high rises on the avenue and the surrounding area, I'm almost surprised they couldn't pull off an even larger structure.

Project: 280 Metropolitan Avenue

280 Metropolitan Avenue, a planned six-story condo development with 28 units, is set to launch sales later this spring under the stewardship of MNS, and has released a few new renderings to drum up interest. The building, developed by CB Developers and SK Development and designed by Garrison Architects, will feature for-sale indoor parking and storage, a bike room, a fitness center, a smartphone based intercom system, a package and grocery delivery room, a landscaped courtyard, and a furnished and landscaped roof terrace, plus ground-floor retail space. The units will be a mix of studios and one-, two-, and three-bedrooms, including a penthouse with a 50-foot-long private terrace. More than half the apartments will include private outdoor space. Overall, it looks nicer than most, but is that even relevant? It'll sell.

Project: 40-40 27th Street

40-40 27th Street, future home of a nine-story hotel, is beginning to rise. As you can see in the photo below, the foundation is complete and steel beams are starting to protrude over the construction fence. According to permits, the building will contain 70 residential units with a 600 square foot parking area and 24,981 square feet of space.1

Delivery according to on-site signage is supposed to be this December.
