An LLC has filed applications for a four-story, three-unit residential building at 174 Richardson Street, in northern Williamsburg. The building will measure nearly 4,750 square feet, and Philip Toscano is designing. The existing two-story, two-unit townhouse passed pre-demolition inspection earlier in May.
Brownstoner took some photos of rebar and foundation going in at 51-59 South 4th Street, in Williamsburg, where KUB Capital is building six townhouses dubbed Wythe Lane Townhouses. Each townhouse will measure 3,800 square feet, and a few are already in contract for multi-million dollar prices. Completion is expected by the end of 2015.
New hotel developments in Williamsburg have tended to cluster along the northern edge of the neighborhood in recent years, but one project will soon get underway at 626 Driggs Avenue, on the corner of North 3rd Street, for which YIMBY now has a fresh set of renderings. SK Development and CBSK Ironstate are developing, and Garrison Architects is designing the building.
Crain’s Business reports that Norman Brodsky is expecting to sell the burned-down warehouse located on Williamsburg’s northern waterfront, at 5 North 11th Street, to a pair of developers. Midtown Equities and East End Capital have reportedly signed a contract to purchase the site, but the exact price has yet to be revealed. The property is currently zoned for commercial and manufacturing use; 600,000 buildable square feet is available as-of-right.
On the corner of Wythe Avenue and Rutledge Street, in South Williamsburg, a long-stalled development is finally getting underway at 782 Wythe Avenue. Permits were first filed nearly a decade ago in 2006, but applications for a gut-renovation and conversion were approved this past March, and now YIMBY has the first rendering of the project, which will transform an old commercial building into a synagogue for the Viznitz Congregation.
