But on Monday, YIMBY noticed an unusual filing for a five-story commercial project at 21 Sylvation Terrace, in a relatively forlorn and industrial piece of the North Shore.
Last week, sales for the second tower at The Grand at Sky View Parc launched with $85 million worth of contracts, according to Curbed.

Construction is underway for the first two towers, with completion expected in late 2016. The first tower is already 95 percent sold. Onex Real Estate Partners is developing and the interiors are being designed by Peter Clewes’ architectsAlliance.
Back in August, excavation began for G&M Realty’s planned 48- and 41-story, 1.2-million square-foot mixed-use development at 22-44 Jackson Avenue, in Long Island City.

Developer Eli Hemway has purchased the three-parcel assemblage at 1215 Fulton and 10-16 Halsey Streets, in southwestern Bedford-Stuyvesant, for $18.5 million. The development site boasts 160,000 square feet of development rights. It includes the two-story Slave Theater and a brick warehouse structure, according to The Real Deal, and plans for the site have not yet been disclosed.
Staten Island-based Joseph Palermo has filed applications for two three-story, two-family houses at 153-157 David Street, in Eltingville, on Staten Island’s southern shore. Each structure will measure 2,674 square feet in total, which works out to family-sized units averaging 1,337 square feet each. Emanuel Lo Bue’s Staten Island-based Lo Bue Valenziano is the applicant of record. The existing single-story home was demolished in October.
