1:00 pm on March 22, 2016 By Reid Wilson

S.W. Management has acquired the vacant development site spanning 1179-1183 Second Avenue and 249-251 East 62nd Street, on the Upper East Side, for $64.3 million. According to Crain’s, the property lot at the corner of Second Avenue and East 62nd Street, at 253 East 62nd Street, is not included in the acquisition, although its former five-story predecessor was demolished just last year. The site that was newly acquired can accommodate 87,650 square feet of development potential as-of-right. A future building could include ground-floor retail space and residential units above. Plans for the site have not been disclosed. Sometime between 2009 and 2011, five tenement buildings ranging between three and five stories were demolished at the site.

Reveal For Columbia University’s Three-Story Academic Conference Center At 3205 Broadway, Manhattanville

6:30 am on March 22, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in October of 2014, YIMBY reported that construction was wrapping up on Columbia University’s nine-story, 450,000-square-foot Jerome L. Greene Science Center at 3229 Broadway, between West 129th and 130th Streets, in the Manhattanville section of Harlem. It was the first building to rise within Columbia’s new 17-acre Manhattanville campus. Later that year, the single-story structures on the triangular lot immediately to the south were demolished in preparation for Columbia’s three-story, 55,890-square-foot academic conference center. Harlem+Bespoke now has a rendering of that building, located at 3205 Broadway. The building will include a café, an information center, offices, meeting rooms, and two auditoriums. Excavation work is reportedly underway and completion of the building is expected in 2018. Renzo Piano Building Workshop is the design architect and Dattner Architects is the architect of record.

19-Story, 30-Unit Residential Building Nearly Done At 301 East 61st Street, Upper East Side

11:00 am on March 18, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in May of 2014, YIMBY reported on plans for a 19-story, 30-unit residential building at 301 East 61st Street, located on the corner of Second Avenue, at the bottom of the Upper East Side. Since then, the project has risen silently and construction on the exterior is largely wrapping up, as seen in photos by Tectonic. The structure measures 58,957 square feet in total and includes 1,035 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. The residential units will be condominiums, many of them duplexes, and should average 1,456 square feet apiece. Amenities listed in the Schedule A include bike storage on the ground floor, a recreational room on the 13th floor, and a rooftop terrace. Real Estate Inverted Development is the developer and Garrett Goulay Architect is behind the design. Completion is expected later this year.

Revealed: Six-Story Expansion of Harlem Hebrew Language Academy Charter School at 147 St. Nicholas Avenue

3:00 pm on March 15, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in October of 2015, the Harlem Hebrew Language Academy Charter School, located in the five-story building at 147 St. Nicholas Avenue, between West 117th and 118th streets in Harlem, filed applications for an expansion into the vacant corner lot on 118th Street. The five-story, 37,907-square-foot structure would be transformed into a six-story, 51,517-square-foot building through various vertical and horizontal expansions. Harlem+Bespoke now has an on-site rendering of the project, being designed by BL Companies Inc. Once completed, the building will include a cafeteria, classrooms, muti-purpose rooms, administration offices, and an auditorium.

Smaller Addition to 1143 Fifth Avenue Still A No-Go At Landmarks

8:00 am on March 14, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

Back in November, we reported on a proposal to take a seven-story residential building at 1143 Fifth Avenue, between East 95th and 96th streets in the Carnegie Hill Historic District, and enlarge it to 13 stories. That really didn’t go over well with neighbors and preservationists, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission didn’t approve it. Last Tuesday, a new proposal, one that would have the existing one-story addition rebuilt as a two-story addition, also did not pass muster with the commissioners.

Construction Underway At Bottega Veneta’s 740 Madison Avenue Boutique, Upper East Side

6:30 am on March 11, 2016 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Construction of the 24,000-square-foot Bottega Venetta boutique store is in full swing at the intersection of Madison Avenue and East 64th Street. The retailer will occupy 740 Madison Avenue along with 23 and 25 East 64th Street. It acquired the property from the Wildenstein family of international art dealers in the fourth most expensive lease of 2014, with an estimated rent of $8 million. Sitting one block east of Central Park and a few blocks north of the Billionaires’ Row rising along 57th Street, the site is within the Upper East Side Historic District, meaning that the developer had to engage in a delicate design and approval process before starting work on the three 19th century buildings.

First Renderings Of 10-Story, 64-Unit Residential Addition At 707 West End Avenue, Upper West Side

6:30 am on March 8, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In January, YIMBY brought you an update on the planned 10-story, 64-unit residential addition atop the existing six-story, 144-unit rental building at 707-711 West End Avenue, between West 94th and 95th Streets, on the Upper West Side. Now, Curbed has the first official rendering that shows a glimpse of the top of the structure. The project, dubbed the Haswell, will add 155,420 square feet of residential space to the property. Condominium units should average a spacious 1,905 square feet apiece, and amenities will include private and communal outdoor spaces, a reading room, and a renovated lobby. The existing, largely rent-stabilized, building will also get extensive renovations, including new windows, and will have access to 5,000 square feet of new outdoor space on the second floor. SJP Properties and P2B Ventures are the developers and PBDW Architects is designing. Completion is expected in early 2018.

Possible Development Site Up For Sale At 1291-1297 Third Avenue, Upper East Side

10:00 am on March 7, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Premier Equities is placing on the market an assemblage of five tenement buildings along Third Avenue, between East 74th Street and 75th streets, on the Upper East Side. According to Crain’s, the five-story tenements at 1291-1297 Third Avenue (the corner property also uses the address 201 East 74th Street) and another undisclosed four-story building on 75th Street are being advertised to developers. There’s roughly 115,000 square feet of development potential at the site, although a developer would most likely demolish two of the tenement buildings for a 95,000 square-foot residential tower, according to Meridian Investment Sales, the brokerage firm tasked to sell the properties. The assemblage doesn’t come with an asking price.
