Property owner Ruo Ruo Yang has filed applications for a seven-story, eight-unit residential building at 37-34 89th Street, in Jackson Heights, right around the corner from the 7 train’s stop at 90th Street and Elmhurst Avenue. The building will total 8,595 square feet, and units will average 1,074 square feet apiece.

Eight-Story, 62-Key Hotel Building Now Planned At 822 4th Avenue, Greenwood

Over a year ago, YIMBY reported on filings for a nine-story, 72-key mixed-use hotel project at 822 Fourth Avenue, in Greenwood, four blocks south of the R train’s stop on 25th Street. Yesterday, the building was resubmitted to the DOB with slight downward revisions, probably due to zoning restrictions. Sunset Park-based Signature Management Enterprises is still the developer, and the building will now rise eight stories and have 62 hotel rooms. Healthcare facilities will span 18,000 square feet across floors two through four, and Chi F. Lau is the architect of record.

Now, foundation work is well underway, according to DNAinfo, and a crane can be seen operating on-site. Dubbed Citizen360, the building will feature condominiums ranging from one- to four-bedrooms, as well as 3,558 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. Anbau Enterprises is developing, SHoP Architects is designing, and occupancy is expected by the spring of 2017.
