Project: 2446 Fulton Street

A rendering has been revealed for 2446 Fulton Street, a planned 11-story residential building in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Designed by IMC Architecture, the structure is expected yield around 300 rental units along with amenities and ground-floor retail space. The property is located at the corner of Fulton and Sackman Streets, next to the five-story 2440 Fulton Street commercial building.

The rendering looks east along Fulton Street from the entrance to Callahan-Kelly Playground. The massing features three protruding volumes clad in pale green brick, with the one at the northwest corner set at an angle, adding variety to the building’s geometry. The bulk of the structure will rise two stories higher behind with a light gray brick façade. A staggered fenestration with corner windows along the edges of the protruding volumes will create a serrated impression on the main northern elevation, and the ground floor will feature floor-to-ceiling windows for the retail frontage. Two bulkheads will sit atop the flat roof.

The property is currently occupied by low-rise commercial buildings.

^ That's the 52 St elevation shown. I'm not sure how or why the project is addressed on 51 St as that's only about a 25' wide lot that unfortunately appears likely to be used for auto access and left a gap in the streetwall.

Design looks alright enough. No complaints. Its' seam with the neighboring old walkup looks like it's sensitively done. Nice attention to detail. That's where god is after all.

Project: 277 Canal Street

Also known as "the Oltarsh Building" in honor of its designer, 277 Canal Street was constructed as the first movie theater in Soho in 1927. Nearly 100 years later, in October 2023, it was the first project to be approved for the Soho-Cast Iron Historic District extension following the rezoning. Landmarks approved plans to expand the existing building from three stories to 13. Morris Adjmi Architects will preserve the existing building while putting on a context-sensitive addition made of brick, metal, terra cotta, and bronze-toned aluminum.

The apartments will start on top of 10,000 square feet of retail space, and are set to comprise 20 studios, 45 one-bedrooms, and 35 two-bedrooms. 25 of them will be designated as affordable under Mandatory Inclusionary Housing.

I'd be curious to know if the structure down to the foundation had to be beefed up to accommodate the extra loads or if the foundations were built to allow a vertical extension from the very beginning. It was much more common 100+ years ago to engineer buildings with future expansions in mind. This allowed a buildings developer/owner to get the building out of the ground while also having the future possibility to increase the value of the property in the future with a "tower" built on the base.

BTW, this looks fantastic. I love Adjmi buildings. My only complaint is the awkward ensemble of the peaked parapet at the far right and the new fenestration. Hopefully this is fleshed out a bit more by the time it's actually constructed.

Most extensive plans for Pete Davidson and Colin Jost’s Staten Island party Ferry revealed





By Katherine Donlevy
Dec. 17, 2025

The most extensive plans yet for SNL stars Pete Davidson and Colin Jost’s stalled Staten Island Ferry project were unveiled Tuesday evening as a roving party arena and comedy oasis.

Nearly four years after buying the ship for a cool $280,100 and racking up thousands in legal and docking fees, the passion project seems to be inching closer to reality.

“As crazy as it may seem, we actually really thought it out before we did buy this ferry,” Paul Italia, owner of The Strand Group and co-owner of the ferry, said during a presentation before the island’s Community Board 1.

In addition to the numerous bars and restaurants touted by the comics from their 2021 splurge, the ferry will also boast a theater on its former parking platform, would be accessible 24/7 and would be tugged back and forth between a Staten Island port and Manhattan.

“We have now purchased it for the repurposing of it and to be able to bring it back to the public and to the people,” said Italia.

“A couple of the things that we’re working on with the existing plans that we’ve been formulating and putting together is having entertainment venues aboard the ship open to the public, ticketed events, as well as community spaces and different exhibits to be able to show the parts of the boats that maybe at some point were interesting to people but not readily available for access.“

The John F. Kennedy Ferry transformation from a commuter boat to a party arena has been slow and bogged down by legal disputes, which Italia downplayed to committee members as he sought to earn their approval.

The community board only has an advisory role, but could influence whether the city later lets the comics set sail on their venture

The ferry is expected to have two venues hosting “world-class entertainment,” including one massive theater on what was once a vehicle parking area on the deck that will be an oasis for comedy events.

Each of the six decks will be littered with bars and food hubs, Italia said, as well as a museum and tour group dedicated to the 56-year history of the JFK.

“This is something that’s very important to my partners, as they grew up on Staten Island and have very fond memories of taking the Staten Island Ferry on a day-to-day basis as they started to come into Manhattan for school and work and everything else. It does have a special place in their hearts,” Italia said of Jost and Davidson, whose 2025 thriller “Screamboat” was filmed entirely on the boat.

The boat will also be open to the public on a “pretty much consistent basis,” including for fishermen to cast their lines early in the mornings.

Rabsky grows planned project at Tribeca’s “sad pit” to 106 units





C. J. Hughes
Jan 5, 2026

A Tribeca site pilloried as a “sad pit” after a long-planned development failed to materialize may not have that moniker for much longer.

Simon Dushinsky’s Rabsky Group is seeking to construct a 24-story, 106-unit mixed-use project at the site, an excavated but empty parcel at the corner of Franklin Street and Broadway, according to a proposal filed late last month with the Department of City Planning.

The plan represents an increase from Dushinsky's earlier proposal to develop a 20-story, 89-unit project at the site, a boost linked to zoning reforms put in place by the City of Yes initiative.

[Busy Bee]

^ It's absolutely insane the scale this thing was built. There should have been towers on each corner no shorter than 30 stories. And people in this city wonder why we have a housing shortage.

Vacant Site to Become Housing, Community Space, and Science Hub in Inwood

-Slate Property Group, Xenolith Partners, and Comunilife Inc. chosen to develop buildings for 100% affordable housing

-600+ units of senior housing and homes for low-income New Yorkers and their families coming to Inwood


December 10, 2025

Today, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is proud to announce that Slate Property Group, Xenolith Partners, and Comunilife Inc. will develop their proposal, “La Ostra,” turning a currently vacant site in Inwood into a new development with over 600 world-class, affordable homes. The development will also deliver a marine science and STEM education center operated by the Billion Oyster Project and BioBus, a new indoor–outdoor field house, suicide prevention and mental health services, and nearly one acre of publicly accessible waterfront open space along the Harlem River.

La Ostra will also offer a publicly accessible waterfront open space to the broader community. After extensive community engagement and a months-long competitive review process, this selected proposal responds to community needs for deeply affordable housing for families and seniors, an engaging marine-focused science hub tied to the Harlem River, new commercial space, and access to the waterfront. Once constructed, La Ostra will be home to over 400 households of low-income New Yorkers and 200 households of older New Yorkers.

In addition to affordable housing, this project will make use of the site’s close proximity to the Harlem River, offering nearly an acre of waterfront public access and open space. Anchored by a STEM partnership with the Billion Oyster Project, BioBus, and NPower, the development places marine science and STEM education at its core, equipping residents and the broader community with tools to engage with and restore the natural environment. Once constructed, this site will help connect New Yorkers in the community directly to the Harlem River. Proposed facilities include an outdoor classroom, a pavilion with a large seating area with movable furniture, a large central lawn, and a stone amphitheater.

The project will also feature the “Oyster Field House,” an indoor-outdoor soccer field where both residents and community members can come together to play and socialize. Additionally, Comunilife will provide on-site supportive services to residents of both buildings, and the project will include dedicated space for their Life is Precious program, offering easy access to mental health resources to teenagers and their families.
