City Council Rejects Plans for Eight-Story, 200-Bed Nursing Home at 141 Conover Street, Red Hook

10:00 am on May 26, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in December of 2015, renderings were revealed of the eight-story, 200-bed nursing home planned at 141 Conover Street, in Red Hook. The proposed project, by Oxford Nursing Home, was to measure 157,500 square feet and feature an urgent care center, but it also required an individual rezoning through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) process. Yesterday, the project reached the City Council Review step, but it was disapproved in a 48-0 vote by the full council, according to Crain’s. Unfortunately, this means the project is officially dead. Concerns raised at the vote included the unfavorable change in zoning from manufacturing to residential. Also, the site is located in a Flood Zone-A area, which some said would pose a threat to seniors living inside the building.

City Revokes Building Permits for 32-Story, 521-Foot-Tall Condo Tower Under Construction at 180 East 88th Street, Upper East Side

6:30 am on May 26, 2016 By Reid Wilson

It was in September of 2015 when YIMBY last brought you news of the 32-story, 48-unit mixed-use tower under development at 180 East 88th Street, on the Upper East Side. At the time, we showed you what the view would be like from one of the upper-floor residential units. Since March, foundation work has been underway at the site, but the New York City Buildings Department recently issued a stop-work-order for the project due to a zoning controversy that allegedly allowed the developers to build a taller tower than normal, the New York Times reported. The Buildings Department says a four-foot-wide lot was created on East 88th Street to avoid streetwall and setback requirements, which allowed for the creation of a taller building. As a result, the department revoked the previously approved building permits and is requiring that DDG Partners submit new plans. The condominium tower was expected to be the tallest building above 72nd Street, at 521 feet in height. HTO Architect was the architect of record, although DDG designs their projects in-house.

6:00 am on May 26, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In September of 2014, YIMBY reported on applications for a 10-story, 133-key hotel planned at 38-42 11th Street, in the Ravenswood section of Long Island City, located four blocks from the 21st Street-Queensbridge stop on the F train. Now, a rendering of the project has been revealed in a report by The Real Deal. The latest building permits indicate the hotel, which will be an extended-stay one by Marriott’s TownePlace Suites, will encompass 69,045 square feet. If the project’s 50,457 square feet of commercial space is exclusively representative of the hotel units, individual rooms should average a relatively spacious 379 square feet apiece. Guest amenities include a fitness center, laundry facilities, a lounge and breakfast area, a garden area behind the building, a bar, a rooftop terrace, a 21-car garage on the ground floor, and storage for five bikes. Midtown Properties is the developer and Think! Architecture and Design is behind the architecture. Foundation work is reportedly underway at the site, and completion is scheduled before 2017.
