A Lexus service building is about to meet the wrecking ball for a mixed-use residential project, complete with its own automotive showroom. Permits have been filed for the twelve-story structure at 547 West 47th street, in Hell’s Kitchen. The site is one avenue east of the Hudson River Greenway, and three avenues west from the 50th street subway station, serviced by the A, C, and E trains.
Property owner David Berman, head of Klacken Corp., has filed applications for seven two-family residential buildings spanning 10-36 Wandel Avenue, in Fox Hills, located in northeastern Staten Island. The entire development will measure 17,448 square feet in residential space, and units will average 1,246 square feet, although buildings and units will vary in size. Each building will stand three stories and require significant excavation work, and permits for retaining walls have already been filed. Staten Island-based Ryan & Vaccaro Architects is the architect of record, and additional houses may possibly lack filings.
