Excavation work is now underway for a mixed-use project on the long-vacant 4.97-acre brownfield site at 662-758 South 2nd Street, in the North Jersey city of Plainfield. That’s in Union County. Under development is a five-story, 90-unit residential building, dubbed The Muse at Grant Avenue, and a single-story, 44,000-square-foot commercial building that will be leased to ABC Supply Company, according to NJBIZ. The units will range from one- to three-bedrooms, and below-market rate units are also included. Amenities include a parking garage, a fitness center, and a community room. The commercial building will serve as a distribution facility, featuring a staging area and 4,000 square feet of accessory office space. J.G. Petrucci Co. Inc. and TD + Partners are the developers. Completion on ABC Supply’s facility is expected later this year, while occupancy of the residential building is scheduled in 2018. The project is the city’s largest mixed-use development in 40 years. The site is located one mile south of NJ Transit’s Plainfield station.

Two-Story, 27,000-Square-Foot Manufacturing Building Planned at 749 East 43rd Street, East Flatbush

2:00 pm on June 15, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based property owner Albert Faks has filed applications for a two-story, 27,381-square-foot commercial warehouse at 749 East 43rd Street, in southern East Flatbush, located 14 blocks from the Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College stop on the 2 and 5 trains. The facility will host food products manufacturing space on the ground floor, and accessory office and storage space on the second floor, according to the Schedule A. The 30-foot-tall structure will rise on a 27,500-square-foot plot currently partially occupied by a single-story warehouse. Permitsto to raze the existing building haven’t been filed yet, which means the new structure will probably rise on the vacant southern portion of the property. Brooklyn-based Felix Pustylnik is the applicant of record.

New York Wheel

6:00 am on June 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in November of 2015, the city approved design changes to the 630-foot-tall New York Wheel project at 155 Richmond Terrace, in St. George, Staten Island. At the time, construction was underway on the project’s four-level accessory commercial building. That commercial structure has since topped out and foundation work is now underway on the base of the Ferris wheel itself. The topped-out commercial structure encompasses 418,901 square feet, and features a 950-car parking garage, exhibition/gallery spaces, ticketing offices/security screening, a bike rental facility, a food hall, and commercial-retail space. The roof will also include a playground, a gallery, a restaurant, a performance stage, and landscaped recreational space. A large part of the building is expected to open this summer, with the entire project scheduled for completion in in 2017. Starneth B.V. is constructing the New York Wheel. S9 Architecture, with Navid Maqami as design principal in charge, and Perkins Eastman, with Jonathan Cohn as project manager, are behind the design.
