The City green-lit the 1 million square foot, Studio V-designed project early this year.

250 South Street [The Lo-Down]: Extell has revealed plans for the 205-unit apartment building that will accompany their ambitious 68-story residential tower at 250 South Street, on the Lower East Side. Basic drawings outline the Dattner-designed 13-story structure, and it will be connected to the tower by a common podium. Demolition of the Pathmark building is almost complete.

120 Jackson Street [DNAinfo New York]: Community Board 1 has voted to approve the proposed four-story community center at 120 Jackson Street in Williamsburg. The new building would cost $18 million, and would call for the demolition of a dated brick structure. The zoning variance should proceed “within the next several months.”

414 West 155th Street [Arch Paper]: The all-affordable, concrete behemoth at 414 West 155th Street in Sugar Hill has completed, and opening is expected in August.

33-55 Overlook Terrace [The Real Deal]: The recession-stalled condo project known as One Bennett Park, at 33-55 Overlook Terrace in Hudson Heights, may soon be jump-started now that a judge has ordered Amalgamated to continue financing Thompson, the site’s developer. The 23-story condo building would be an ambitious addition to the neighborhood, and a firm has been hired “to keep the building permits up to date.”
