Proposals to construct a new observation deck on the upper floors of the Chrysler Building have arrived for review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. As promised by Aby Rosen, co-founder of RFR Holding and part-owner of the Midtown East icon, these plans comprise just one phase of his vision to invigorate interior spaces of the landmark at 405 Lexington Avenue with new restaurants, a food hall, and retail spaces.
Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 493 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Located between Hall Street and Ryerson Street, the interior lot is closest to the Clinton-Washington Avenues subway station, serviced by the G train. Alex Guzman under the 493 Myrtle Avenue Realty Group is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Renderings from J Frankl Associates reveal a nine-story mixed-use property at 58 Vanderbilt Avenue in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn. Located near the Brooklyn Navy Yard industrial complex, the development will take shape on a large corner lot with additional frontage along Park Avenue. The building will top out at 107 feet and comprise approximately 106,000 square feet, with 61,223 square feet of residential area divided among 90 rental units.
The superstructure of 185 Broadway is now several floors above ground in the Financial District. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by SL Green, the 260,000-square-foot development will top out at 31 stories and bring more than 200 rental apartments and flagship retail space to Lower Manhattan.
Construction is moving along at 351 Marin Boulevard, a 383-foot-tall mixed-used development in Jersey City. Designed by Hollwich Kushner in collaboration with HLW International and developed in a joint venture between KRE Group and Northwestern Mutual, the 38-story project will yield 507 residential units, 8,000 square feet of commercial space, 203 parking spaces, and a 4,500-square-foot public plaza with a freestanding pavilion.
