Brooklyn-based Sand Castle Building has filed applications for a five-story, five-unit residential building at 525 Leonard Street, in southern Greenpoint, a block away from the Nassau Avenue stop on the G train. The structure will measure 5,022 square feet in total, which means units will measure 1,004 square feet apiece. Two units will span across the first two levels, and three full-floor units will take up the remaining upper floors. Midtown South-based Issac & Stern Architects is the architect of record. An existing two-story house must first be demolished.

YIMBY brought you a construction update two months ago on the 32-story, 384-unit mixed-use building going up at 286 Ashland Place, in Downtown Brooklyn, which stood just 12 stories tall at the time. Since then, the structure has doubled to 24 stories, courtesy of a YIMBY reader’s photo, and façade installation has also begun. As previously reported, the building will will include significant retail and community spaces, and 20% of the units will be set aside as affordable. Two Trees is developing, TEN Arquitectos is designing, and completion is expected in August of 2016.

Back in January, Houston Essex Realty Corp. acquired 9,238 square feet of air rights for a planned redevelopment of the single-story commercial building at 225 East Houston Street, on the Lower East Side, and now Bowery Boogie has renderings of the project. The existing structure will be expanded into a 12-story, 40-unit residential building with retail on the ground floor. The redevelopment will total roughly 41,000 square feet and is being designed by Bluarch Architecture. Permits were filed late last year to conduct interior demolition and prepare the existing building for a vertical enlargement.
