12-Story, 186-Unit Mixed-Use Project Tops Out at 411 West 35th Street, Hudson Yards District

Construction has recently topped out on the 12-story, 186-unit mixed-use building under development at 411 West 35th Street, located on the corner of Dyer Avenue in the Hudson Yards District. Photos of the progress have been posted to the YIMBY Forums by ILNY. The latest building permits indicate the structure encompasses 191,702 square feet. There will be 14,586 square feet of retail space and a 981-square-foot doctor’s office on the ground floor. The residential units, beginning on the second floor, should average 875 square feet apiece, although it’s not known if they will be rentals or condos. Amenities include an 80-car underground parking garage, storage for 94 bikes, laundry facilities, an outdoor recreational area on the ground floor, a rooftop terrace, and many other “recreation” and “parcel” rooms (probably consisting of lounges, a fitness center, etc.). YYY Development & Construction is the developer. Gowanus-based Workshop Design + Architecture is the design architect, while Aufgang Architects is serving as executive architect. Completion is expected in early 2017.


27 Kossuth Place

Four-Story, 10-Unit Residential Building Filed at 27 Kossuth Place, Bushwick

Brooklyn-based developer Urban View has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 27 Kossuth Place, in central Bushwick. The structure will measure 8,250 square feet, which means its units should average 825 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. There will be one unit on the ground floor, followed by six units across the second and third floors, and three units on the fourth floor. Woody Chen’s Elmhurst-based Infocus Design & Planning is the architect of record. The 37-foot-wide, 3,750-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a three-story, three-family townhouse. Demolition permits were filed in April. The site is located around the corner from the Kosciuszko Street stop on the J train.


Kravis Research Building

Construction Underway on Rockefeller University’s Kravis Research Building at 1228 York Avenue, Upper East Side

Rockefeller University’s Stavros Niarchos Foundation-David Rockefeller River Campus expansion is now being constructed above the FDR Drive between East 64th and 68th streets, at 1228 York Avenue on the Upper East Side. The expansion consists of a two-story academic building and two acres of green space, according to the New York Times. The new building, called the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Research Building, will encompass 152,641 square feet. It will feature laboratories, two amphitheaters, offices, conference rooms, a dining area, and outdoor terraces. The new structure will connect to the university’s existing buildings. Rafael Viñoly Architects is behind the design. Construction is being accomplished with the Chesapeake 1000, which is the “largest marine crane based on the East Coast.” Completion is expected in 2019.


4302 4th Avenue

City Now Planning Public School Redevelopment at Landmarked Police Station, 4302 Fourth Avenue, Sunset Park

In January, developer Yosef Streicher disclosed preliminary plans to redevelop the long-vacant, three-story 68th Police Precinct Station House and Stable, an individual landmark at 4302 Fourth Avenue, located on the corner of 43rd Street in Sunset Park. The plan was for some sort of community facility, a café, and roughly 10 residential units. The New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) has since struck a deal with the developer to transform the property into an over 300-student public school, the Brooklyn Paper reported, which means the original plans are out the window. The SCA also disclosed the possibility and likelihood that the buildings could be demolished. Since the structures are an individual landmarks, that means the Landmarks Preservation Commission would have to approve its demolition (a highly unlikely event). The city could automatically demolish the landmark if the structures are deemed hazardous.

Developer Acquires Site of Planned 42-Story, 800-Unit Mixed-Use Tower at 500 Summit Avenue, Jersey City

Back in August and December of 2014, YIMBY revealed two different conceptual designs for a planned mixed-use development at 500 Summit Avenue, in the Journal Square section of Jersey City. HAP Investments has recently closed on the acquisition of the site for $26.6 million, despite false reports that the developer purchased the property in 2014, Commercial Observer reported. It was also revealed that CetraRuddy will be responsible for the design, the same firm that produced the conceptual renderings YIMBY released in 2014. Planned is a 42-story, 800-unit tower with 30,000 square feet of retail space. The entire building will encompass 916,955 square feet, and the residential units, which will be rentals, should average 981 square feet apiece. There will be a 100-car parking garage. The 80,000-square-foot site consists of a parking lot and two dilapidated, two-story residential buildings.
