Azimuth Development Group’s eight-story, 21-unit residential development under construction at 321 East 60th Street, located on the southern edge of the Upper East Side, is a few stories from topping out. The construction progress can be seen thanks to photos posted to the YIMBY Forums by user Waymond_Womano. The latest building permits, which YIMBY first reported on in early 2015, indicate the new building will encompass 25,069 square feet. Its residential units should average 1,133 square feet apiece, which means either rentals or condominiums could be in the works. Amenities include a nine-car parking garage, storage for 11 bikes, laundry facilities, and private residential storage space. Aufgang Architects is behind the architecture. Completion can probably be expected in 2017.

Affordable Residential Building to Replace Our Lady of Loreto Church, 124 Sackman Street, Ocean Hill

10:00 am on August 9, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Our Lady of Loreto, an abandoned church owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and located at 124 Sackman Street in Ocean Hill, is expected to be demolished to make way for an affordable residential building. Catholic Charities Progress of Peoples Development Corporation, which leases the property, is behind the project, the New York Times reported. New building applications haven’t yet been filed, but demolition permits were back in June and crews are expected to begin work later this year. When the church originally closed back in 2008, the structure came close to being razed for 88 affordable residential units. An agreement was made to build 64 residential units behind it while converting the church structure into a different use. Since the 2010 agreement, Catholic Charities hasn’t been able to recruit a redevelopment team to convert the property. The site, located at the corner of Pacific and Sackman streets, is five blocks from Broadway Junction stop on the the A, C, J, L, and Z trains.

2:00 pm on August 8, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The Town of Hempstead, on Long Island, has approved a proposal to rezone the properties at 494 and 1104 Hempstead Avenue, in Malverne, from Residence A to Residence C-A, putting Franklin Square, N.Y.-based R&B Acquisition & Development one step closer to building a 12-unit condominium project, LI Herald reported. The developer initially proposed the project to the town in January. The project must now seek approval from the Nassau County Planning Commission, as the site is located on a county street. The project would rise three-and-a-half stories and is expected to include 35 off-street parking spaces, many of which will be located on the ground floors of each condo. The number of parking spaces is subject to change. The 1.2-acre assemblage is currently occupied by two single-family houses. The neighborhood’s Long Island Rail Road station is roughly half a mile away.
