Been waiting to post this one…it’s the two towers in the foreground right of center in this rendering (two other towers of similar height are visible in the background to the left…those renderings are old and they’ll likely be about 20 stories taller than what’s shown in the rendering due to a recent rezoning).
Tower 1 (29 Van Reipen)
Construction of a new 27-story mixed-use building containing 696 residential units, approx. 3,076 SF of retail/commercial space, approx. 19,380.3 SF of hotel space, amenities and associated site improvements.
It will cantilever over an old frame house at 15 Van Reipen Ave too, but you can’t see that in the rendering.
Tower 2 (608-612 Pavonia)
Construction of a new 27-story mixed-use building containing 432 residential units, approx. 4,536.8 SF of retail/commercial space, approx. 3,295 SF of professional office space, approx. 8,814 SF of office space, amenities and associated site improvements
Yes one developer has been more successful at getting projects done efficiently, and has continued to buy up land and propose new projects at a faster pace than others. That developer is Namdar.
I made a diagram explaining what’s under construction, and what’s in site prep, as well as future phases.
The blue building is where piles were driven. The green building is where the demo happened. Red is a future phase depicted as a 27-story building in the photo but that’s outdated; it’ll actually be 47 floors. A second 47-story building is also planned for this block behind 612 Pavonia.
Not a free pass at all. They got added height in return for having to include dozens of money-losing units restricted between for tenants with low income to moderately low income.
