In February, Related Companies and GreenOak Real Estate purchased the seven-story, 168,000-square-foot industrial building at 21-09 Borden Avenue, in southern Long Island City, for $62.5 million.

The two developers also purchased the Paragon Building – a six-story, 108,000-square-foot former industrial building at 21-00 49th Avenue, in southern Long Island City – for roughly $47.5 million. The property is located two blocks to the north and is also expected to be converted into office space. An architect and targeted completion dates have not been disclosed.

Two Performance Theaters Being Built On Ground Floor Of 515 West 52nd Street, Hell’s Kitchen

6:30 am on March 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

MCC Theater has broken ground on a long-planned venue inside the 27-story, 627-unit Avalon Clinton at 515 West 52nd Street, in Hell’s Kitchen. Crain’s reports the performance facility will measure 27,000 square feet across the ground floor and a mezzanine level. The space inside the building was initially intended for a nonprofit’s use when it was built in 2004, but has remained vacant since then. In 2011, plans to build a performance facility kicked off, and the theater organization along with the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs raised $29.9 million for the project. When construction wraps up in 2018, there will be 249-seat theater and a 99-seat theater. Andrew Berman Architect is designing the theaters, which will include associated workshop, meeting, and rehearsal spaces, as well as a grand lobby and connections to the existing outdoor courtyard space. AvalonBay currently owns the property.
