I hate these cantilevers-over-trash buildings. It's just bad building code and bad city planning.

Oof. 1230 Metcalf is regrettable now, let alone in 15-20 years. 2505 Broadway on the other hand, looks really nice. Love the nod to the corner building with the curved columns. Is that masonry, or concrete on the finished facade?

Hand laid brick. The brick goes along with the rounded edges of the structure, but its brick.

Project: 1245 Edward L. Grant Highway

In an exclusive reveal, a new rendering from Marin Architects illustrates a 12-story rental building in the Highbridge section of The Bronx. Located at 1245 Edward L. Grant Highway, construction is expected to break ground this summer.

The Marin Architects design team drew inspiration from the neighborhood’s long industrial history, which is said to be most evidenced in the façade of the structure. The brick exterior transitions from brown to red with a pair of vertical black brick bands in between. The masonry elements support a staggered, punched window system and what appears to be PTAC units.

Within, the building will comprise 85,335 square feet of residential area with a mix of 77 one-bedrooms and 44 studios. Amenity spaces will include a spacious recreational area, shared laundry facilities, a package room in the lobby, and a ground-floor bike room.

Stagg Group, the developer responsible for the project, is expected to wrap construction by early 2023.

Investors are on the hunt for big discounts in Manhattan, hoping developers of luxury condominiums desperate to unload units will sell at bargain prices.

The buyers are looking to purchase between three and 100 units at one time, in exchange for a significant reduction in the asking price, The Wall Street Journal reports....

I absolutely love those ultra thin towers going up in NYC, totally unique. Like some art deco/stylistic cartoon world that can't exist anywhere else, for no where else has such vertical density and demand.

Project Update: 14-16 Fifth Avenue (RAMSA)

Extra Info:

The Landmarks Preservation Commission will tomorrow review proposals from Madison Realty Capital to construct a new 19-story condominium building at 14-16 Fifth Avenue. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with Hill West, the tower would eventually house 20 units, but will first need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the voting commissioners.

Architectural renderings from the design team reveal a Flemish Bond brick façade with Juliet balconies, stone cornices, and decorative fluted pilasters among other materials that emulate the multiple architectural styles found in the surrounding Greenwich Village Historic District. Portions of the building’s upper floors are set back to support private outdoor terraces for select residences.

The development site is currently occupied by two five-story apartment buildings. The original structure was completed around 1848 and was essentially erased in the 1930s following a drastic exterior renovation that removed existing stoops and front doors, parlor windows, and decorative cornices, as well as all decorative door and window framing.

Today, the façade of the existing structure is smooth stucco with no remnants of any architectural significance. Even Community Board 2, which vehemently opposes the development, acknowledges the existing property’s lack of definitive architectural style, and has instead argued that the building is of “cultural and social significance.” These dissenting opinions reference the litany of famous and influential people who once resided in the building.
