The last time YIMBY reported on progress at 23 Park Row, on the northern edge of the Financial District directly across from City Hall Park, excavation work had mostly wrapped, and foundation pouring had just begun. Four months later, concrete for the base of the soon-to-be 54-story tower has mostly wrapped, and formwork has breached street level, signaling the skyscraper’s rise is about to begin in earnest.
Permits have been filed for a 10-story, 100 percent affordable mixed-use building at 1490 Southern Boulevard, in the Crotona Park East neighborhood of The Bronx. The site is three blocks away from the 174th Street Subway Station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains, and ten blocks away from the Whitlock Avenue Subway Station, serviced by the 6 train.
Permits have been filed for a four-story mixed-use building at 2746 Fulton Street, in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. The site is two blocks away from Van Siclen Avenue Subway Station, serviced by the J and Z trains. The A and C trains are eight blocks away, at another Van Siclen Avenue Subway Station. The major commercial intersection at Broadway Junction is nearby, as is Highland Park. Fulton Developers will be responsible for the project.
Last week, YIMBY was the first media outlet to be given a tour of the sales gallery and construction site of the 55-story skyscraper at 277 Fifth Avenue, in Nomad, Manhattan, a project which we have reported on extensively over the past several years. Designed by Rafael Viñoly, the high-rise is currently on its 46th floor, with only nine to go before topping-out occurs. After a nerve-racking elevator ride outside of the building, we stepped out to what is currently its highest floor, which already offers expansive views of the New York City skyline.
Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 396 South 5th Street, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The site is a block away from the Hewes Street Subway Station, occasionally serviced by the J, M, and Z trains. Four blocks away is the Broadway Subway Station, serviced by the G train, which is one quick stop from the Metropolitan Avenue Subway Station, where one can transfer to the L train. BQBP Inc will be responsible for the development.
