Last week, Andres Azpurua’s Onsite Project Consulting filed plans for a little condo project at 650 Metropolitan Avenue, a block from the Lorimer Street L stop in Williamsburg. Now we have a rendering for the six-story development that will rise between Leonard Street and Manhattan Avenue.
John Kivotidis, head of Kivo Realty, has filed applications for a five-story, nine-unit residential building at 29-28 Newtown Avenue, in central Astoria, two blocks from the N and Q trains’ stop at 30th Avenue. The building will total 6,388 square feet, which means units will average a rental-sized 710 square feet apiece. Sugnam Chang’s Bensonhurst-based Basic Groups Corp. is the applicant of record, and an existing single-story building must first be demolished.
Carmine Cautella, head of Staten Island-based FJN Development Corp., has filed applications for two two-family residential buildings at 88-90 Craig Avenue, in Tottenville, four blocks from the Nassau station on the Staten Island Railroad. Located on the Island’s southernmost tip, the buildings will measure 2,474 square feet apiece, which means full-floor units will average 1,237 square feet each; the units will be restricted to the second and third floors in both buildings. Stanley Krebushevski’s SMK Architect is the applicant of record, and demolition recently began on an existing two-story house.
Nearly a year ago, YIMBY revealed renderings of the 17-story, 275-unit condominium building planned at 550 Vanderbilt Avenue, in Prospect Heights, and this past summer we posted interior images of the building’s lobby and common areas. Construction is now well underway, and the structure is currently five stories tall, per the latest from Tectonic. A partnership between Greenland Group and Forest City Ratner is developing the building, which is one of many in their Pacific Park development. COOKFOX is designing, and completion is expected in 2017.
Developer MKF Group has been busy in Bushwick recently, with small residential projects underway on Linden Street, Willoughby Avenue and Bleecker Street. Now they’ve filed plans for their biggest development to date: a 12-story mixed-use building at 301 Himrod Street, between Wyckoff and Irving Avenues.
