Chill man...they're not going to be changing the look of anything. It's likely they are just going over the masonry with a fine toothed comb and repairing and preventing damage. They'll probably follow that up with a good cleaning.

NEW YORK | Bais Shmuel Synagogue And Community Center
Project: Bais Shmuel Synagogue And Community Center
Quote:
A new synagogue and community center for the Bais Shmuel Chabad has broken ground in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Located at the corner of Union Street and Albany Avenue, the new building will contain religious worship and ceremonial spaces, a social hall for events, and a small community housing component.
Designed by S. Wieder Architect, the building will top out at four stories. The structure will feature a sleek facade with sandy-hued panels, slim glass windows with bronzed metal framing, and a multistory window opening at the center of the building. A series of planters installed along Albany Avenue and Union Street will match the bronzed window framing.
While there are no renderings available of building interiors, the one illustration appears to reveal a partial penthouse and an open-air roof deck.
The Bais Shmuel Chabad center will improve a 5,779-square-foot lot that was previously undeveloped. It is unclear when the new building is expected to debut.
i walked by 160 richmond terrace yesterday. its in front of ferry/ballpark parking.
this one is being built first, in advance of the 3 tower 750units compass river north mega project to be built around it -- and a 100unit zhl richmond terrace tower project just to the immediate west. no work has started up as yet on those.
Permits have been filed for an 11-story mixed-use building at 2335 12th Avenue in West Harlem, Manhattan. Located between West 133rd and West 134th Streets, the lot is near the 137th Street-City College subway station, serviced by the 1 train. Javier Martinez of Artifact is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 120-foot-tall development will yield 74,462 square feet, with 64,773 square feet designated for residential space and 9,689 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 86 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 753 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
David Jimenez, RA is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet for the warehouse on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
Here, a new seven-story building will take up a chunk of the block from the northwest corner of West 151st Street and Amsterdam Avenue, halfway up half the block through 1848 Amsterdam Ave., Martinez said.
Artifact spent $5.5 million last month to purchase the strip of three-story buildings on the corner, and already owns the adjacent four-story building at 1848 Amsterdam Ave. The Harlem Collective building at 1850 Amsterdam will not be affected by the new project, though it will extend its programming into the new building, Martinez said.
The new building will include 63 apartments, plus nearly 13,000 square feet of commercial space that Martinez described as "small community retail."
The businesses on that block, which currently include Cake Lords Bakery and Savory Deli, will presumably be forced to close before work begins — also in about a year and a half, Martinez said.

Project: 1861-1869 Amsterdam Avenue
Quote:
Artifact is planning a five-story apartment building that will replace the existing two-story medical clinic at 1861 Amsterdam Ave. — which Artifact bought for $11.4 million in 2018.
The site will also include the three-story building at 1867 Amsterdam, which now houses operations for Harlem Collective.
The new 47-unit building will also include 5,700 square feet of commercial space. Planning for this project is in more advanced stages: Martinez has already moved to demolish the existing buildings, and construction will likely begin by the end of this year, he said.
Construction Update: 3401 Third Avenue (El Borinquen)
Extra Info:

A housing lottery opened this week for 57 low-income units at a new residential building in the Bronx. Located at 3401 Third Avenue in Morrisania, the 10-story building, known as El Borinquen, is being developed by Comunilife, a non-profit that provides housing and health services to vulnerable residents. New Yorkers earning 40 and 60 percent of the area median income, or between $17,898 for a single person and $72,060 for a household of three, can apply for the apartments, which range from $522/month studios to $1,065 one-bedrooms.
Designed by Alexander Gorlin Architects, the building contains 112 studio units, 35 one-bedroom apartments, and a two-bedroom unit for the super. Amenities include 24-hour security, a laundry room, a community lounge, a computer lounge, bike storage, a landscaped garden courtyard, and on-site social services provided by Comunilife.
The property is located close to the 2 and 5 trains accessible at the Prospect Avenue subway station and the B train at the 167th Street station.
Renderings from Paul Chirstakos Architecture are the first to reveal Be.Live, a six-story, mixed-use building at 1950 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, Manhattan. Led by Reglobe Development, the building will comprise just under 10,000 square feet with condominiums and a small ground-floor commercial business.
The residential area will occupy 9,645 square feet, the majority of the low-rise building. This will include 14 market-rate condominiums, a fitness center, bicycle and general storage facilities, and a landscaped backyard for communal use. Available floor plans will include eight studios, four one-bedrooms, and two two-bedroom duplex units.
BOND New York was retained as exclusive marketing and sales agent for the property. Studios begin at $410,000, one-bedrooms at $495,000, and two-bedrooms at $765,000.
“1950 Amsterdam Avenue brings a new level of uptown home ownership offering first-time buyers or investors the chance to live above the area standard with monthly payments which rival rent payments,” said Bond New York’s director of brokerage services Douglas Wagner. “This is a building where new homeowners will begin to build generational wealth that grows along with the neighborhood’s undisputed momentum.”
Closings are expected to begin this summer with move-ins as early as the fall.
EDRE Development has revealed the first renderings of 288 Water Street, a new condominium property in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by EDRE with Issac & Stern Architects as the architect of record, the building will comprise just over 23,000 square feet with eight condominiums, three covered parking spaces, and a collection of amenities.
The collection of apartments range from three- to four-bedroom layouts, each with private outdoor space. The apartments feature minimalist interiors designed in an airy palette of white oak, natural limestone, and polished nickel accent.
This minimalist aesthetic extends to the exterior of the building, which features a white porcelain façade, multi-story windows, and glass-enclosed balconies.
Building amenities include a Japanese Zen Garden, a fitness center, a roof deck with barbecue grills, a lobby lounge, and a package room.
