Fixed. Thanks.

Man, that Domino Sugar Plant development is incredible and I'm so glad they are preserving the factory. What is that skyscraper on the left made out of? Looks like Corten Steel.

Project: 181 Mercer Street


NYU Core Aerial Rendering July 24 by Bedford Bowery, on Flickr

A year ago, New York University shut down the Coles Sports Center, the aging, two-story gym at the corner of Bleecker and Mercer Streets in the Village. Now the school has filed plans for its replacement, a 23-story, mixed-use tower with classrooms, dorms, new athletic facilities, and community space at 181 Mercer Street.

The new building will reach 275 feet into the air and hold 587,943 square feet of community facility space. The plans call for a 556-seat theater in the cellar through fourth floors, a cafe, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, study lounges, and a library. A pool, gym, varsity practice rooms, an indoor track, and locker rooms will occupy the basement levels, and there will be a few more gym spaces on the fifth and sixth floors.

The development will split into towers at the seventh floor, where the dorms will begin.

NYU began demolishing Coles in August to make way for the project, which has sparked plenty of controversy among local activists and students. Most of the university’s varsity teams practiced in the building, and its demolition has pushed teams to practice at the smaller, newly constructed gym several blocks north at 404 Lafayette Street, or in spaces leased from other schools.

Davis Brody Bond and KieranTimberlake are handling the design. However, the university hasn’t released new renderings for the project since 2011.

The demolition of Coles is expected to continue through early 2017, and work on 181 Mercer is scheduled to finish in 2021.

Project: 106 Fulton Street (Conversion)

Meridian Capital Group has arranged a $45 million short-term loan for DSA Property Group’s purchase of a 15-story dormitory at 106 Fulton Street from Pace University, sources have told Commercial Observer.

Ladder Capital provided the two-year debt, which carries a Libor-based floating-rate with interest-only payments and a six-month extension option. Meridian’s Avi Weinstock, Ronnie Levine, Josh Rhine and Luke Hingson negotiated the financing on behalf of the borrower.

The 1910 building is slated for another reconversion: DSA “is planning a light renovation of the building to quickly bring the units to market at relatively affordable rents,” according to a NGKF release exclusively provided to CO about the sale. Pace had converted the once-office building into dorms in 1999. Burger King currently occupies the 3,543-square-foot retail space on the ground floor of the building, with a lease set to expire in 2020, according to data from CoStar Group.

I updated Post #740 (Click me) to include a higher resolution rendering. One before that was small.

Project: 79 Avenue D

L+M Development Partners scored a $52.8 million loan from TD Bank for the construction of its rental project at 79 Avenue D in the East Village.
The loan is backed by the New York State Housing Finance Agency, which issued $52.8 million in tax-exempt and taxable housing revenue bonds purchased by TD Bank, according to a representative from L+M.

The developer is planning a 12-story building that will feature 22 units of permanently affordable housing and 88 market-rate units spread across 88,000 square feet. The 80/20 project also includes nearly 13,300 square feet of retail space across the ground and basement floors. Rite Aid — which was previously housed at the site — has pre-leased the space. The developer paid $12.5 million to the Fried family for the site in 2014.

L+M Development, headed by Ron Moelis, actively develops both affordable and market-rate housing. The company, along with Hornig Capital Partners, has teamed up with SBH Health System to develop 314 units of supportive housing in the Bronx. L+M is also planning a 59-story mixed-use development at 23 Park Row in the Financial District.

Thanks Hunser. You won't find another NY compilation like this on the net. And the ones that are out there, are Chinese counterfeit ones. Like the cheap rolexes folks get on Canal Street. Okay for the moment, but they aren't maintained at all and break after a month.


Anyways... another 220 ft tower. One of dozens of unknown projects.
=====================
=====================


Project: 43 West 47th Street

Designed by Marin Architects, the 17-story development will host 58,000 square feet of offices and stores. Glassed-in retail will fill the first two floors, and the rest of the building will be devoted to office space.

The design is pretty simple, but the floor-to-ceiling windows will offer an improvement on most of Midtown’s cramped, aging office space. Also, the setbacks of the new building will line up with the stepped sections of the 1920s office building next door, which helps maintain the overall look of the block.

The current five- and six-story buildings at 41 and 43 West 47th Street host pawn shops, diamond wholesalers, apartments, and a Bukharan Jewish deli. If the renderings are any indication, the diamond sellers or pawn shops may return to the ground floor of the new project.

The developer, Boris Aronov, owns Modern Pawn Brokers on the ground floor of 43 West 47th Street, which he purchased for $3,550,000 in 1998. He then picked up the building next door for $7,200,000 in 2003.

Project: 350 West 39th Street

Hotel developer Sam Chang has just broken ground on his second hotel on West 39th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues. YIMBY has the first look at the building at 350 West 39th Street, which will be designed by Gene Kaufman.

The hotel, a Hyatt Place, will reach 25 stories into the air and hold 518 rooms, according to PR reps for the project. That’s larger than the plans on file with the Department of Buildings. The agency approved permits last month for a 20-story, 422-key hotel with 122,178 square feet of commercial space.

The development will offer three spaces for drinking and eating: an indoor restaurant, a backyard eatery, and a bar/lounge on the first floor. The cellar level will have a fitness center, business center, and meeting space.

The Hyatt Place will be Kaufman’s tenth hotel in the Garment District and his sixth collaboration there with Chang.

FYI for people wondering about sources.

Its always below the "=============" that I place below an article or post.

Its embedded, because sloppy posts are not my thing.

[chris08876]

Note: As per compilation guidelines, this is a high rise as its 125 ft. I try to keep it to 12 floors / 120 ft + as a high rise. Anything below that, a mid rise, in which, it would go into the mid rise compilation. Office ceiling heights being a big reason it breaches the 120 ft mark with low floors + the podium.

=======================
=======================

Project: 77 Wythe Avenue

Developed by Cayuga Capital, the building will reach 125 feet into the air and span 128,768 square feet. The ground floor will be devoted to retail, and 40,130 square feet of medical offices will fill the third through fifth floors and part of the sixth. Then 88,700 square feet of office space will round out the rest of the project. Office workers will get to enjoy terraces on several upper floors, and the ninth floor will feature a restaurant with outdoor space.

The latest plans also include parking for 333 cars, spread between a bi-level underground garage and the second floor. The incredible amount of parking highlights the outdated, auto-heavy rules coded into the city’s manufacturing zoning. It’s unlikely that the building will need that much parking, considering the Bedford Avenue L train stop is an eight-minute walk away. 77 Wythe would benefit from the special zoning created for 25 Kent, which cut down parking requirements and offered floor area bonuses for including light industrial space.

Project: Waldorf Astoria Renovation

Anbag Insurance Group filed plans Thursday to renovate the iconic Waldorf Astoria. The filings offer the first detailed look into the new owner’s vision to transform the landmarked hotel.

According to the permit application filed with the Department of Buildings, the 44-story hotel at 301 Park Avenue, will be residential from the 14th floor and up, with a total of 321 apartments across 31 floors, spanning 766,172 square feet. The fifth through 13th floors will retain 840 hotel rooms, down from a total of over 1,400 today.

The hotel will also get a new fitness center, restaurant space and retail space, and will retain its ballrooms, dining and banquet rooms, exhibition space and banquet rooms. The top four floors of the Waldorf Towers will have two condos each and the next three floors will be divided into four condos per floor.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is the architect of record, the filing shows. Representatives for Anbang and the architecture firm could not be reached for comment.

The China-based insurer Anbang, which bought the iconic hotel last year for a record $1.95 billion, will need approval from both the Landmarks commission and the Department of Buildings because alterations could affect the hotel’s exterior. The Chinese insurance group agreed to maintain the hotel’s distinctive Art Deco interior under pressure from preservationists.

The hotel will be closed for reservations after Feb. 28, 2017 for renovations to begin.
