Construction has broken ground for Archer Towers, one of the tallest residential structures in Jamaica, Queens. Designed by Studio V Architecture and developed by BRP Companies, the 24-story development is located at 163-05 Archer Avenue and will include a mix of apartments, retail space, and parking.
Permits have been filed for a 12-story mixed-use building at 37-63 72nd Street in Elmhurst, Queens. Located between Broadway and Roosevelt Avenue, the interior lot is two blocks from the 74 Street-Broadway/Roosevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights subway station, serviced by the 7, E, F, M, and R trains. Benjamin Werber of Berber Management is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Construction has topped out on the two-story addition on the Textile Building, a 16-story commercial building at 295 Fifth Avenue in Midtown South, Manhattan. Designed by Studios Architecture and developed by Tribeca Investment Group, PGIM Real Estate, and Meadow Partners, the $350 million project involves the expansion and gut renovation of the 100-year-old structure, which is located between East 30th and East 31st Streets, a short walk to the Empire State Building. CBRE is handling marketing of the 700,000 square feet of updated office space.
Construction has resumed on H Hotel W39, a 29-story hotel at 58 West 39th Street in Midtown. Designed by Peter F. Poon Architects and developed by Wei Hong Hu of H Hotel LLC, the 447-foot-tall project had been stalled since the early months of 2020. City Cross Construction Corp. is the general contractor for the structure, whose design features a radical cantilever that gives way to a tapered glass dome. The footprint of the tower rests on a relatively narrow plot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, just south of Bryant Park.
Construction is now underway on the final tower of Journal Squared, a three-skyscraper development in Jersey City. Designed by HWKN Architecture and Handel Architects and developed by Kushner Real Estate Group and National Real Estate Advisors, the 60-story building will yield 600 rental apartments with interiors designed by Major and Handel Architects.
