Back in May, applications were filed for a new 27-story hotel at 305 West 48th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Hell’s Kitchen. Now, we have the first rendering for the project, which is being designed by Gene Kaufman.
The last time YIMBY reported on progress at 23 Park Row, on the northern edge of the Financial District directly across from City Hall Park, excavation work had mostly wrapped, and foundation pouring had just begun. Four months later, concrete for the base of the soon-to-be 54-story tower has mostly wrapped, and formwork has breached street level, signaling the skyscraper’s rise is about to begin in earnest.
While retail is commonplace in New York City’s new developments, supermarkets are slightly more rare. Today, YIMBY has the scoop for a proposal to add the “Washington Avenue Food Market” to 35 Underhill Avenue, in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
