YIMBY recently checked in on the progress of four low-rise residential and commercial projects in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The developments are all located within close proximity of the N train at the 8th Avenue subway station, and are characteristic of the smaller scale construction transforming the outer boroughs in conjunction with the larger projects typically highlighted in our coverage.
Construction is finished on 18W55, a 25-story residential building at 18 West 55th Street in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed and built by Skyline Developers, the 289-foot-tall structure spans 153,104 square feet and yields 97 rental units with an average scope of 1,319 square feet. The project also includes 6,380 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 10,343-square-foot cellar level. The property is located on a formerly vacant interior lot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Construction is progressing on Thrive, a three-story residential building at 273 Shrewsbury Avenue in Red Bank, New Jersey. Designed by CPA Architecture and developed by non-profit Parents With A Plan, the 34,000-square-foot structure will yield 32 one-bedroom rental apartments for adults with autism, with five units dedicated to affordable housing. The project will also include a 923-square-foot office for the Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services on the ground floor. The property is located at the corner of Shrewsbury Avenue and Dr. James Parker Boulevard.
A new rendering has been revealed for 168 Sip Avenue, a proposed 35-story two-tower residential building in Journal Square, Jersey City. The project would be built in two phases and is planned to yield 648 market-rate units, 72 affordable housing units, and 7,600 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The development would also include a 200-vehicle parking garage. The 0.81-acre property is located at the corner of Sip and Tonnelle Avenues, within the Journal Square 2060 Rehabilitation Area.
Construction is underway at the Three Arts Club, an eight-story residential building at 340 West 85th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Curtis + Ginsberg Architects for the West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing (WSFSSH), the project will transform the structure’s 125 single-room occupancy units into 61 permanently affordable homes for low-income senior citizens. The property is located between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive.
