Two Staten Island developments:
-------------------------------------
Lester Apartment Building (12 Floors):

Behind Lester in the picture at top will be a 12-story, 100-unit apartment building, 22 of which will be affordable. And as we wind down the Bay Street hill toward the waterfront and the ferry terminal, a 62k SF retail building will sprout behind this wall. A relic of the land's days as a Coast Guard post (it was ceded to the City of New York just over 20 years ago), the wall will remain as a requirement of the NYCEDC's RFP.

Upscale Hotel:

On the left is a building the City will lease to the National Lighthouse Museum, which targets an opening of Aug. 7, the 225th anniversary of George Washington's signature on the Lighthouses Act of 1789, which moved lighthouses from state to federal jurisdiction. This site was the US Lighthouse Services General Depot in the mid-1800s. The NYCEDC may put out an RFP soon on the center building, Lester tells us, and the building on the right is one of those that Lester's fixing up. It's in the green space between and behind these three that Triangle Equities will raise a luxury hotel, likely with a rooftop pool and lounge, which Lester believes will be only the second full-service flagged hotel on Staten Island.
