Exclusive Reveal For $700 Million Harlem River Yards Mega-Project, Including New York’s First Soccer Stadium Designed By Rafael Viñoly

"When it comes to new developments, stadiums are a rarity in New York City. But today, YIMBY has the first look at an enormous project coming to the South Bronx waterfront, dubbed Harlem River Yards, submitted to the city by a Related-led partnership. The plans would rise adjacent to Somerset Partners’s assortment of new towers already in the works, adding another major affordable housing building, as well as the City’s first dedicated soccer stadium, with 26,000 seats, designed by Rafael Viñoly. The total cost is projected at $700 million.

The partnership is comprised of Related, Somerset Partners, and the New York City Football Club, which would be the occupying team for the new stadium.

The affordable housing component would come with a 25,000 square foot medical facility in the base, as well as major amenities for the neighborhood’s children. Up above, there would be approximately 550 affordable and workforce apartments created.

While plans have not yet been finalized, YIMBY’s source notes that Related is the likely contender to win the RFP for the site, and with Somerset already working on their towers next door, the partnership and plans are looking very likely. The stadium itself would rise above extant rail yards, which would increase costs by $75 million, but have the beneficial effect of capping rail tracks with vibrant mixed-use development.

The proposal explains that the Partnership would pay $500,000 annually for a 99-year ground lease, invest $25 million into the new waterfront esplanade, and invest another $100 million into making the site buildable, within the total investment of $700 million. The site spans 12.8 acres and has 1,200 feet of waterfront frontage, but combined with Somerset’s adjacent residential plans, the area increases to 17.1 acres, and the river frontage measures 2,400 feet.

The RFP includes Somerset’s adjacent towers in explaining the Soccer Stadium’s future. By 2020, there will be 1,279 market rate units built next door within the new high-rises, as well as 20,000 square feet of retail, a 5,300 square-foot community facility, and 26,000 square-foot park, fronting onto the first 1,200 feet of the riverfront esplanade.

The plans for the stadium and affordable housing also include an additional 150,000 square feet of retail space, as well as an 85,000 square-foot park. Additional amenities are listed in the above screen-shot of the plans.

Completion of Harlem River Yards is tentatively anticipated for 2022, if the state does select Related and Somerset for the RFP."

^So much better than sticking it out in Belmont Park. This is going to look so awesome and will go miles to activating the neighborhood. Win-win.

Project: 11-12 44th Drive

Another day, another reveal for new development in Long Island City. Today’s renderings are for 11-12 44th Drive, a residential project. The site is three blocks away from the Court Square-23rd Street Subway Station, serviced by the E and M trains. The waterfront Gantry Plaza State Park is also seven blocks away. Sergey Rybak’s Rybak Development is listed as behind the applications.

Zproekt is the architect of record, and the renderings come from Carbn NYC. The building’s façade has a dark bare aesthetic, mainly decorated by floor-to-ceiling windows. Outdoor terraces will line the seventh and eighth floor. The rooftop will have an open recreational space, with an outdoor swimming pool.

The 80-foot tall structure will yield 50,000 square feet, with 4,120 square feet dedicated to the commercial-retail use, and 45,880 square feet dedicated to residential use. 31 parking spaces will be included on site. 49 residential units will be created, averaging 936 square feet apiece, indicating rental use.

Current building is only 300,000 sf, so it would be a 900,000 sf addition. Also, Trinity Church is a very powerful real estate lobby, and would imagine this would sail through city reviews as a result. This neighborhood has seen an enormous amount of infill built in the last few years, easily a dozen projects. Something to keep an eye on.


ABC considers pulling a JPMorgan with dev site in Hudson Sq.



"...Broadcaster ABC may follow JPMorgan Chase’s example and build a new headquarters in Manhattan.

The Disney subsidiary is looking at a Trinity Church-owned development site at 4 Hudson Square, the New York Post reported. The lot, which includes an office building, could allow for a building of up to 1.2 million square feet..."

Reminds me of 61 Ninth Avenue.

Office building in the Village’s ‘Silicon Alley’ gets a new design



"Plans for the office development proposed on the site of the former St. Denis Hotel in the East Village progressed last week, after Normandy Real Estate Partners filed new permit applications. Located at 799 Broadway, the 165-year-old hotel will be demolished and later replaced with a 12-story office building. New permits reveal a change in architects, from CetraRuddy to Perkins+Will as well as a slight shrinkage of space, from 190,000 to 183,000 square feet..."

Project: 3254 + 3258 Parkside Place

Earlier this month, permits were filed for a large residential development in a spear-shaped plot of land at 3254 and 3258 Parkside Place. The project is the largest development filed in the Norwood neighborhood since 3084 Webster Avenue, in October of 2015.

Marin Architects is responsible for the design. The façade is mostly composed of dark grey and white bricks with a typical running bond pattern. The symmetrical building has a castle-like quality, with modern interpretations of crenels in the center.

The two buildings both rise 71 feet high, yielding a combined 77,640 square feet. 65,530 square feet will be dedicated to residential use. 97 apartments will be created, averaging 670 square feet apiece, indicating rentals.

Project: 212 Wadsworth Avenue

Permits were filed in February of 2017, which show the 95-foot tall structure will yield 114,750 square feet within. 74,000 square feet will be dedicated to residential use, and 14,260 square feet will be occupied by a community facility. The church will be located in the basement, along with a lobby for the church and for residents. Tenants will have a laundry room and ground floor recreational space. 21 parking spaces will be included on site, to be used by tenants and the church. 98 rental units will be created, of which 29 will let as affordable for people receiving moderate incomes.

Theodore Hammer of Mancini Duffy is the architect of record. The facade is composed of a grid of square floor-to-ceiling windows, framed by what is likely either black metal panels or brick.

Another rezoning target :

Kushner Companies offers to buy Park Ave co-op for $250M



"...Most co-ops require 100 percent of the unit owners to agree on a sale and price. But 417 Parkonly requires a 67 percent majority to green light a sale, insiders told the Post.

Several bidders in past decades have offered to buy the building, but now the Midtown East rezoning would allow a new owner to replace the property with a much larger building..."

417 Park, if it's replaced, could be another supertall.

You have the combination of small footprint, extensive air rights and sky-high values. Imagine another 432 Park-type tower.

Would be nice if they did the right thing and preserved the facade and incorporated into the new tower. But they won't. Because philistines.

They definitely could. Developers like this trade on every New Yorker's lost history, heritage and beauty to line their own pockets. It's the architectural equivalent of blood diamonds.

Project: 34-11 36th Street (Kaufman Astoria Studios Expansion)

Kaufman Astoria Studios first opened in 1921, and has long been a centerpiece of New York City’s media industry. The Astoria-based complex is no longer relying on its historical footprint, having recently become the first studio in the Five Boroughs to gain a backlot for filming. A backlot is a space containing permanent exterior sets. The latest addition to the campus will be a newly built four-story office building at 34-11 36th Street, Queens, that will include two new stages, which YIMBY can now reveal. The studio’s Astoria on Stage LLC is behind the applications.

The 84-foot tall structure will yield over 100,000 square feet within, including 68,000 square feet of office space. The building will feature 14-foot high ceilings, seven balconies, and wraparound windows. 138 parking spaces will be included on site.

As of now, the studio’s footprint covers over 500,000 square feet, housing nine stages, a lighting and grip company, music recording space, and a full-service restaurant. Business for the studio has been improving since tax incentives from the state in 2004 stimulated film and TV production.

The 74-foot tall structure will yield 46,650 square feet, with 39,820 square feet dedicated to residential use, 580 square feet for a medical facility, and 2,430 square feet for ground-floor retail. 59 apartments will be created, averaging 675 square feet apiece, indicating rentals.

Tenants will have access to 18 parking spaces, accessory storage space, and room to park 27 bicycles in the cellar and seven on the eight floor beside a shared recreational space.

Badaly Architects are responsible for the design.

Project: 2633 Ocean Avenue

Developer Michael Lilikakis is joining the residential boom in Sheepshead Bay.

Lilikakis filed plans with the Department of Buildings on Friday for an eight-story, 60-unit building at 2633 Ocean Avenue. The project would span 42,000 square feet, split between about 38,000 square feet of residential space and 4,000 square feet of commercial space.

The site is currently a vacant lot, and Lilikakis previously filed plans for a 10,000-square-foot commercial building in 2012. The property has been in the Lilikakis family since at least 1985, property records show.
