Construction is wrapping up on the two-story, 3,080-square-foot commercial-retail building under development at 76 East Houston Street, on the corner of Elisabeth Street in NoHo. A photo of the new building, which was just a single story above street level in February of 2015, can be seen in a Bowery Boogie update. The structure will host 2,928 square feet of commercial-retail space, according to the latest building permits. The ground floor will contain a 775-square-foot unit and the second floor will have a 680-square-foot unit, according to the aforementioned update. Amenities include a rooftop recreational area and storage space. Goldman Properties is the developer and TriBeCa-based Gary H. Silver Architects is the architect of record. Occupancy can probably be expected in the next few months.

Innovo Property Group and Westbrook Parters have acquired, for $195 million, the seven-story, 640,000-square-foot office-industrial building at 24-02 49th Avenue, in southern Long Island City.

The building is nearly completely leased, with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) occupying 480,000 square feet across five floors. The new owners plan to not renew NYCHA’s lease, which expires in 2020. The plan is to renovate the property to include modern and creative office space. The property is right across the street from the Hunters Point Avenue station on the 7 train and the Long Island Rail Road.
