The C5-3 zoning covering a three-block section adjacent to the Court Square No. 7 train station allows for a floor to area ratio of 2.

The firm has a contract to buy two other properties Modern Spaces is marketing and is negotiating to buy two others being marketed by Andrew Mapp at the Corcoran Group.** > **Those properties give Tavros more than 167,000 square feet of development rights, and additional available air rights near by could push the total buildable up to 250,000 square feet. When all the ink is dry, the assemblage could total around $30 million to $35 million, Daniel said.** > As part of the deal, the developer will make payments to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority that will go toward transit improvements at the subway station. > David Roger Grossmann, Edward DiTomasso and Ashley Grebow of Modern Spaces negotiated on behalf of the sellers along with Daniel. Pascal Levy of Besen Associates represented Tavros. > The area’s unique zoning paved the way for the 1.5 million-square-foot Citigroup Building – also known as One Court Square – as well as a pair of other big-ticket projects in the works. ---

Well that one used to be it’s own project until it was sold to the developers of this project recently, but yes it also now needs to be merged, but @chris08876 can make that decision/judgement. That’s just what happens when diffferent developers start to assemble lots right next to each other and end up selling to the neighboring developer, you end up with multiple projects in the beginning and then have to merge the threads in the end. ---

Charney Companies and Tavros Capital are in contract to buy the development site at 24-09 Jackson Avenue in Queens from Toyoko Inn, PincusCo reported. The cost won’t be known until the sale closes, but the site was being offered at about $60 million. Quote: Charney in February filed a permit application for the construction of a 54-unit, 61,000-square-foot project at the site. An owner can develop a 267,000-square-foot residential building on the site as-of-right. Tavros and Charney have experience teaming up on projects. The companies in January bought a full-block site at 318 Nevins Street along the Gowanus Canal from Property Markets Group for $102 million. They plan to build about 660 rental apartments on the property, which has more than 500,000 square feet of buildable space. ---

Yeah, I walked around LIC today and grabbed this pic. There was a bulldozer on site actively clearing.

I’m not sure where they found these pics though. I guess it’s being treated as two towers connected by a central piece. Its also amusing how there’s a holdout on the corner of this assemblage. Reminds me of 30 Rock or Macys on 34th.
