Project: 3735 Riverdale Avenue

At that meeting, Newman Design, the architects for the project, said the design complied with the Klein/Dinowitz law, as it contains less than 30,000 square feet of clinical space.

Simone will now build a luxury 48 unit residential building that is 14 stories high on the Riverdale Avenue side, including two stories of parking space for 48 cars. The site is on a hill, and on that side the building is 12 stories.
"It's not a little building, but it is in conformity with the buildings close by," said Mr. Dinowitz. "And 48 units can't possible have the enormous impact of a health care facility, with cars going in and out."

Guy Leibler, president of Simone Healthcare Development, said half of the 48 apartments will be one-bedrooms, and the rest will be two-bedroom units. Newman Design remains the architects for the residential project. Simone has not yet made a decision on whether the building's units will be rentals or for sale.
