The new building will encompass 4,500 square feet and will boast 3,873 square feet of residential space. One apartment will span the ground floor and the second will take up the second and third floors. If residential space is divided as such, the ground floor unit will measure 1,290 square feet and the second unit will measure a spacious 2,583 square feet. Jung Wor Chin Architect is the architect of record. The 25-foot-wide lot is currently occupied by a two-story, single-family, wood-framed structure. Demolition permits have already be filed to raze it.

Excavation Kicks Off At 12-Story, 49-Unit Condo Project At 160 Leroy Street, West Village

Back in November of 2015, new details and renderings surfaced of the planned 12-story, 49-unit residential building at 160 Leroy Street, in the West Village, and YIMBY can now report that excavation is underway, as seen in a photo by Tectonic. Developers Ian Schrager, Vector Group, and Carlton Group secured $265 million in financing last month for the 184,935-square-foot project. The condominium units will average a very spacious 2,874 square feet apiece, with units ranging from 1,100 square feet to a 12,000-square-foot penthouse, and amenities include landscaped courtyards and gardens, a 70-foot swimming pool and spa, an entertainment lounge, a kids clubhouse, a gym, and an 834-square-foot restaurant. Herzog & de Meuron is the design architect, S9 Architecture & Engineering is serving as the architect of record, and Christian Liaigre is responsible for the interiors. Completion is expected in 2017.

Three-Story Townhouse Filed At 126 West 165th Street, Highbridge

Property owner Ramon Aquino, doing business as an anonymous Bronx-based LLC, has filed applications for a three-story, single-family townhouse at 126 West 165th Street, in Highbridge, located less than a mile north of the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium stop on the 4/B/D trains. The townhouse will measure a total 2,538 square feet and will rise on a vacant, 16-foot-wide lot. The building will rise 35 feet above street level, which means ceiling heights will be generous, and there will be a single off-street car parking spot. Reza Khamcy’s Great Neck-based Icon Engineering is the applicant of record.
