The project will measure 4,620 square feet and its residential units should average 660 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. De-Jan Lu’s Greenwich Village-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 20-foot-wide, 2,000-square-foot lot is vacant.

City Seeks Developers for 200-Unit Affordable Residential Project at 3265 Atlantic Avenue, East New York

The de Blasio administration is looking for a development team to construct up to 200 affordable residential units at 3265 Atlantic Avenue, also known as the Dinsmore-Chestnut site, in the Cypress Hills section of East New York. The 81,175-square-foot site, located on the corner of Chestnut Street, is vacant. The property was excluded from the East New York rezoning approved earlier this year, Crain’s reported. It’s expected that the site will eventually receive an individual rezoning, which would be required if the current plans go forward. The city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development released a request for proposals yesterday. Proposals are due March 22, 2017.

New Owners Buy High-Profile Mixed-Use Development Site at 85 Jay Street, DUMBO

Kushner Companies, LIVWRK, and the CIM Group have closed on the purchase, for $345 million, of the 135,000-square-foot development site at 85 Jay Street, in DUMBO. The full-block property, currently vacant, could accommodate up to 1.1-million square feet of mixed-use development, the New York Post reported. The new owners plan to develop the site within current zoning laws. A project “with mixed uses” is planned, although plans are very preliminary. It was reported earlier that the site could host as many as 1,000 residential units. The team is in the process of hiring architects and consultants.
