Anbau Enterprises has spent the last two years securing Landmarks approval and a rezoning for a planned cantilevering condo building at 39 West 23rd Street. Now the developer has finally filed plans for the 25-story, mixed-use project between 5th and 6th avenues in the Flatiron District.
The city is moving to redevelop the Flatbush Caton Market into a mixed-use, affordable apartment building, and now a private developer has filed plans for a vacant lot on the next block, at 2155 Caton Avenue.
News broke earlier this month that a developer is looking to build a 12-story mixed-use building at 107-18 70th Road, in Forest Hills, and renderings of the project have since surfaced. According to DNAinfo, the new building is being designed by Morali Architects. As previously reported, the 120-foot-tall structure would require a variance from the city as zoning currently only allows for new developments of up to 80 feet. The developer, who remains anonymous, is planning to transfer air rights to the site, which is currently occupied by a strip of single-story restaurants, known as “Restaurant Row.” The project would have ground-floor retail space with new restaurants and residential units on the upper floors. A tentative completion date is being pegged at 2019.
Julio Salinas, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 656 Warwick Street, in central East New York, located a stone’s throw away from the New Lots Avenue stop on the 3 train. The new structure will measure 3,278 square feet in total and the full-floor units will average a family-sized 1,093 square feet apiece. The ground-floor unit will feature an indoor garage and recreational space in the cellar. Michael Sbeglia’s Brooklyn-based Design Concept Architects is the architect of record. The 20-foot-wide lot is currently being used as a parking lot.
Brooklyn-based Infinity Properties, headed by Isaac Dana, has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 894 Willoughby Avenue, in western Bushwick, located four blocks from the Myrtle Avenue stop on the J, M, and Z trains. The new structure will measure 5,027 square feet in total and its residential units will average a rental-sized 691 square feet apiece. There will be two units per floor except for the fourth floor, which will have only one. Olabanji Awosika’s Jamaica-based Banji Awosika Architect is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed this back January to remove the site’s existing two-story, 22-foot-wide townhouse.
