https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/marke...-edge-iii/5602

Despite concerns regarding the MTA’s planned closing of the L train in 2018, Douglaston Development’s The Edge III forges ahead with construction on their project along the Williamsburg waterfront. Situated at 2 North 6th Street, the tower marks Douglaston’s third tower on the East River, following The Edge North Tower at 34 North 7th Street and The Edge South Tower at 22 North 6th Street. The Edge III topped out in March at 40 stories high and a height of 398 feet. Expected to be complete in 2017, the tower will ultimately host 554 no fee residential units and 678 square feet of retail at its base.

Project: 44 West 37th Street

Last week, sources told The Real Deal that developer Sioni Group was planning a 15-story office building at 44 West 37th Street in the Garment District. Now, those plans have materialized at the Department of Buildings.

New building applications filed earlier today call for a 203-foot-tall structure on the site between Fifth and Sixth avenues, three blocks away from both Bryant Park and Herald Square. The 43,200-square-foot building would hold close to 39,000 square feet of office and retail space.

A restaurant would occupy the cellar, first floor, and an upper mezzanine level, followed by offices the remaining 14 stories.

Sources told TRD that the Garment District-based firm expects to attract tech companies, showrooms, and a restaurant for the ground floor. They expect to charge “in the mid-$60s per square foot” for rent in the building, which would be a valuable addition to Garment District’s aging building stock.

Newman Design Group will handle the architecture.

Project: 2002 Surf Avenue

The 118,743-square-foot structure will contain a mix of affordable and supportive housing, with 53 apartments to be rented at below-market rates through the affordable housing lottery, and 82 apartments to house homeless veterans. The units will all be one-bedrooms and should average 733 square feet apiece. There will also be 7,815 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Long Island-based Concern for Independent Living and Georgica Green Ventures are the developers. The Stephen B. Jacobs Group is the architect and completion is expected in 2018.

The rendering also depicts plans for three more buildings, two of which are high-rise towers. New building applications haven’t been filed for those. The entire complex, which will eventually also contain market-rate apartments, has been dubbed Surf Vets Place.

Project: 1912 First Avenue

The new 16-story building at 1912 First Avenue will hold 153 affordable-housing units across 131,316 square feet and an additional 650-square-foot community facility, according to a permit application filed with the city’s Department of Buildings on Wednesday. Amenities will include a recreation room, fitness center, and bike parking.

The agency filed plans last year to convert Draper Hall at 1918 First Avenue into a 14-story, 201-unit senior housing development with a senior center on site. The city’s Health and Hospitals agency awarded the developer SKA Marin a 99-year lease for the first Draper Hall building, and the project is slated for completion in 2017.

Why put a blank wall on the groundfloor there. There should be retail, especially on a major thoroughfare like First Ave.

NYC zoning fail.

It's an existing building, built 50 years ago. It's just a renovation.

1912 First Avenue is a separate project, just announced, and I see no rendering for the new tower.

Project: 249 East 50th Street

Storied French restaurant Lutèce occupied the ground floor of 249 East 50th Street for more than 40 years before shutting its doors in 2004. Thanks to the restaurant’s fame, the three townhouses at 249-253 East 50th Street have appeared in several movies and TV shows, including The Prince of Tides, Wall Street, and most recently, Mad Men. Now plans have been filed for the 16-story building that will replace them between Second and Third avenues.

New building applications call for a 210-foot-tall building with 29 apartments. Those 29 units would be divided across 49,434 square feet of residential space, for typical apartments measuring 1,700 square feet. The first six stories will hold four units apiece, and each of the remaining 10 stories will have just one, full-floor unit.

Bike storage, tenant storage, and laundry would fill the cellar, and there would be a rec room on the top floor.

The developer is Chinatown-based Tun Kyaw, and Issac and Stern Architects will be responsible for design.

Dap.Map is a building-by-building, web-based interactive map for NYC designed to show where residential tenants may be facing significant displacement pressures and where affordable apartments are most threatened. ANHD created Dap.Map to provide community groups, local residents, elected officials, policymakers, and the public direct and real time access to vital information on our city’s rapidly changing residential environment.

The Map currently includes 4 Indictors listed on the right side of the map. Each indicator is color-coded by the buildings by risk-level. Quickly jump to a specific Council District or Community District in the box on the right or enter a specific address with the search bottom on the bottom left.

Could be. But I think this design is a byproduct of heavy psychedelic use. Like Ingels, many architects use the power of HT2A agonism to create beautiful works of art. From the depths of the rabbit hole come works of art that become steel and glass.

A good friend of mine went to NJIT as an architect and him and his archie buddies always had the best designs after a good hit of the toke. Unfortunately, they where to grand and expensive. One of them proposed raising the whole island of Manhattan by 25 ft to prevent flooding. IDK how that would be possible bar a major earthquake or some sort of mountain chain magically springing up from the ground, but it made sense!!!

Project: 3-24 27th Avenue

Last month, the New York City Housing Authority began work on $88 million worth of repairs and renovations at Astoria Houses, which were slammed by Hurricane Sandy three years ago. Now the agency has filed plans for a new 14-story apartment building at the development on Hallets Point, along the western Queens waterfront.

New building applications filed last week call for 136-foot-tall development at 3-24 27th Avenue. The site is a parking lot at the northern edge of Astoria Houses, between 3rd and 4th Streets. There would be 136 apartments and 126,176 square feet of residential space. A typical apartment would come in at 774 square feet.

Each floor would hold 10 to 14 units, and typical amenities would occupy the cellar. Future tenants would be able to take advantage of a lounge, fitness room, laundry room, and bike storage.

Dattner Architects will design the building. We’re guessing this is another one of NYCHA’s slow-moving plans to create mixed-income housing at its existing developments. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s version of this program is called NextGen NYCHA, but the city didn’t include Astoria Houses on the list of housing projects that are set to be redeveloped. The public housing agency revived a Bloomberg-era plan to develop at Fulton Houses in Chelsea a few months ago, and this could be a similar, long-dormant proposal.

Project: 230 Classon Avenue

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church is planning a 16-story apartment building in Clinton Hill, according to permit application filed Friday with the city’s Department of Buildings.

The 119,300-square-foot property at 230 Classon Avenue will hold 142 apartments and about 25,200 square feet of community space to be used by the historic church, the filing shows. A three-story, 4,800-square-foot rectory currently sits on the site, which is next door to the church itself. The church owns a 99-year ground lease.

Father Gerald Keucher told The Real Deal that the church is developing the property in partnership with a developer he declined to identify.

“This is the moment in Brooklyn to capitalize and to use real estate if you have it,” Keucher said. “The area is very different from what it was 30 years ago.”

DXA Studio is the architect of record, but the project’s developer is currently unknown. As yet there have been no permits filed for the demolition for the three-story rectory.
