11:00 am on October 14, 2015 By Reid Wilson

In the final days of 2014, YIMBY reported on applications for a six-story, six-unit residential building at 253 East 7th Street, in the East Village, and now the existing four-story townhouse is being demolished to make way for the new building. Per EV Grieve, the property was acquired by an LLC in August 2014 for $4.3 million. The residential project will measure 9,652 square feet, which means units will likely be condominiums, averaging 1,609 square feet.

10:00 am on October 14, 2015 By Reid Wilson

Just over a year ago, applications were filed for a 10-story, 56-key hotel building at 219 Hudson Street, in Hudson Square, and since then, the DOB has disapproved of the plans. But now, developer Rafi Gibly has recently sold the development site to Brooklyn-based developer Joel Braver in a $13.2 million deal. It’s not known if the old plans will be reused. The previous plans included a penthouse residential unit, and Rawlings Architects filed for the permit. [The Real Deal]

This would be accomplished by expanding to an empty lot located behind it at 14-16 Cornelia Street. On Tuesday, the proposal went before the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the commissioners could have approved the upper floors, but wanted more work done at street level.

Late last year, YIMBY posted a video featuring renderings of plans for a new 63-story residential tower at 118 Fulton Street. The design featured in the film was originally created for the Lightstone Group, which sold off 112-118 Fulton Street to Carmel Partners last September for $171 million. But while the site’s developer has changed, its appearance has seemingly stayed the same, and a new on-site rendering confirms that a design similar to the one previously posted will be built.
