As the administration’s East New York rezoning marches through the public review process, small market-rate developments are growing on the neighborhood’s outskirts, away from the rezoning area south of Atlantic Avenue. One such project is in the works in Cypress Hills, the northern section of the neighborhood that stretches from Atlantic up to the acres of cemeteries along the Brooklyn-Queens border.
Eli Nahmais, doing business as Long Island City-based Elmm Realty LLC, has filed applications for a seven-story, 20-unit residential building at 2-21 27th Avenue, in the Hallets Point section of western Astoria. The building will measure 14,460 square feet in total, which translates into average units of 723 square feet, indicative of rentals. Flushing-based Frank Quatela is the architect of record, and demolition commenced earlier this summer to remove a two-story brick house and adjacent garage.
Hudson Square-based NY Equity Management has filed applications for a five-story, 10-unit residential building at 684 Madison Street, in central Bedford-Stuyvesant, 10 blocks north of the Utica Avenue stop on the A and C trains. The building will measure 7,973 square feet in total, and units will average 797 square feet apiece. Flushing-based Frank Quatela is the architect of record, and a dilapidated two-story townhouse must first be demolished.
Michael Kandhorov, of New York Equity Management, has filed applications for a six-story, six-unit residential building at 511 Herkimer Street, in southern Bedford-Stuyvesant, two blocks east of the Kingston/Throops stop on the C train. The building will measure just short of 6,000 square feet, making for full-floor units averaging nearly 1,000 square feet. Flushing-based Frank Quatela is the architect of record, and an existing three-story townhouse must first be demolished.
Michael Cotoia, head of Alpine Ready Mix (a Queens-based concrete supplier), has filed applications for a two-story mixed-use commercial building at 58-38 69th Street, in eastern Maspeth. The building will measure 11,000 square feet; retail space will span 5,500 square feet on the ground floor while a health care facility will take the second level. Fushing-based Frank Quatela is the architect of record, and an existing single-story structure must first be demolished.
