New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is set to review a proposal for modifications to 39 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn on March 4. The application, assembled by Tom Kowalski Architect Studio PC on behalf of owner 139 Sidney LLC, seeks approval for several exterior modifications to the historic building, which was originally built in 1846.
A proposal has been submitted to the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) seeking to legalize previously installed windows at 138 Joralemon Street, an 11-unit brownstone in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn. Built in 1855, the Anglo-Italianate-style building underwent window replacements without prior LPC approval. The application is scheduled for review on February 4.
Excavation and pilings are underway at 88 Schermerhorn Street, the site of a 20-story mixed-use building in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by NA Design Studio, the 185-foot-tall structure will yield 58 units with an average scope of 660 square feet, as well as 10,509 square feet of commercial space and a 30-foot-long rear yard. 88 Schermerhorn Holdings LLC is listed as the owner and On Star Management LLC is the general contractor for the property, which is located on an interior lot between Boerum Place and Court Street. Bianca D’Alessio and Justin Mezzatesta from The Masters Division at Nest Seekers International will handle sales for the property, which will be called Modavie once sales eventually launch.
The new Brooklyn Heights Public Library at 286 Cadman Plaza West is now complete and open to the public. Located on the border of Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn, the 26,000-square-foot library is the second-largest branch of the Brooklyn Public Library System, after the Central Library Headquarters.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) recently approved proposals to renovate and partially replace an aging masonry façade at 109 State Street in Brooklyn Heights. The property’s location within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District requires strict LPC approval of any proposed construction or modifications.
