Four-Story, 108,200 Square-Foot Self-Storage Facility Coming To 976 Cypress Avenue, Ridgewood

Chicago-based self-storage company LSC Development has filed applications for a four-story, 108,200-square-foot self-storage facility at 976 Cypress Avenue, in southern Ridgewood, located about two blocks from the Halsey Street stop on the L train. The planned structure will replace a single-story warehouse structure on the corner of Centre Street. The facility will have an accessory office space and will feature two loading berths. Long Island-based Frank Relf is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in January to remove the existing warehouse building.

That’s at the corner of Tenth Avenue and West 34th Street, right across from the Hudson Park and the secondary entrance to the new 7 train terminus.

Architects Tout Gansevoort Market Plan As Return to History

In November, a plan for a commercial revitalization of the south side of a block of Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, went before the Landmarks Preservation Commission. In a rare, but hardly unheard of occurrence, the hearing was paused before the commissioners could discuss the proposal. With the continuation of that session likely to come soon, YIMBY sat down with the architects behind it to talk about its place in the history of the area.
