Smile NEW YORK | 225 Fourth Avenue | 125 FT | 12 FLOORS

Project: 225 Fourth Avenue



Quote:
Daniel Goldner Architects will design the building, which will rise between Union and President Streets, directly in front of an entrance to the Union Street R train stop. The development will hold 68 units spread across 61,572 square feet, for an average apartment of 879 square feet. The ground floor will have 3,500 square feet of retail.

The building’s retail will help activate the streetscape of car-heavy Fourth Avenue, thanks to zoning that requires retail or community uses and forbids parking on the first floors of new buildings. And this project doesn’t have to include parking, because the lot is small enough to be exempt from the city’s requirements.

Design-wise, the structure will stick to the modern aesthetic set by other new buildings on Fourth Avenue, but the long, unevenly distributed strips of windows give it a slightly more distinctive look. Light brick and white facade panels will coat the exterior. The top four floors will be set back, creating large balconies for residents on the eighth and ninth floors.
