460 Grand and 134 Baldwin got exemptions for work during the emergency, and I’ve seen people inside 134 Baldwin doing interior work every day as recently as today. It’s slow, but it hasn’t stopped.
253 Academy–this one is very confusing. They stopped structural work after the first floor, but they have had electricians on site every day since the ban was lifted. So I’m assuming they’re still a go for now.
I guess it makes sense to include demo permits in this thread. Feel free to post them, as well as new-construction permits (including footing/foundations).
The Phase 1.2 of 100 Water Street/132 Yale Street, on the West Side, has pulled its construction permit. It’s a 5-story, 88-unit building with two retail storefronts. SDL Portal
Phase 1.1 was a 145-unit building plus the temporary surface parking with 123 parking spaces with four retail storefronts. Future phases will bring an additional 388 apartments on the sites that are currently surface parking or vacant lawns (“Lot B”) on the map below. @Oreo_Zchut or anyone else who has pics of this site, please feel free to chime in!
So did 100 Colden, Street, a 12-story, 129-unit building with 44,000 sqft self -storage facility, 28,000 sqft of retail at street level, 10,000 sqft of office space, parking for 174 cars and a 4,000 sqft health center:
829-843 Garfield has been issued its permits today. A 5-story, 108-unit building with ground-floor retail and 76 parking spaces. It will have 11 affordable housing apartments.
Interestingly, they applied for permits in late April, so this is the first building to apply for permits after the COVID shutdown to begin construction.
I went past the site yesterday, and rebar was already coming out of the ground.
311 West Side Ave, a 5-story building building with 32 units, 3 retail spaces, and 19 parking spaces, got its permit today. Located near the West Side Ave station in the West Side Redevelopment Plan area.
I hope that this goes off without a hitch. It’s next door neighbor has become an abandoned construction site and it’s a huge eyesore. But great news! It’s near a bunch of other sites that are going through the pipeline.
Today permits were issued for 506-508 Central Ave, a 5-story, 25-unit building with retail, 2 affordable apartments, and 5 parking spaces in the Heights neighborhood:
^^Haven’t seen anything pop up for that one yet. I feel like the link between permits and construction has broken down a bit post-COVID.
Permits filed today for 374 Communipaw Ave, a 5-story, 40-unit building with 9 parking spaces and 2,600 sq ft of retail in the Lafayette/Communipaw neighborhood. 2 units will be income-restricted housing.
And here’s one that has no permits yet: 3060 JFK, a 6-story, 99-unit building. Some minor demo and site clearing has started. I assume permits will be coming soon
I’ve been way too busy this past month, sorry for the lack of updates.
Here are all multifamily buildings that have gotten construction permits in the past month (from largest to smallest). About 280 units’ worth. I’ve been past all of these projects recently and they were all in the excavation or pile driving phase:
Past month recap. Things seem to have slowed down even more.
413 Summit Ave, a 148-unit, 18-story building with 4,865 sq ft of retail and 16 underground parking spots in Journal Square (on October 5 2020): https://t.co/GpsYm0gdZn?amp=1
56 Cottage St, a 26-unit, 5-story building with no parking in Journal Square got its permits on 10/1/2020 (next but distinct from 60 Cottage St which is also U/C):
503 Communipaw is already under construction last I saw. I finally have an account with the SDL Portal. It’s quite useful lol. There should be new permits up soon for the next phase of the NJCU University Place development. Also for a new building of St. Peters University on Montgomery.
I’ll update this post over the next few hours/days with photos corresponding with some of those recent permit sites, and also some others that have started recently.
413 Summit - this is from a month ago but it looked the same yesterday when I biked by
