We could soon be seeing a lot of residential conversions on Third Avenue in Midtown East:

Love working on Third Avenue so much you never want to leave? Good deal. A handful of buildings are also being converted for resi use. The owners of 830 Third have pulled 130,000 square feet off the market to create 188 residential apartments. Quantum has teamed up with Metro Loft Management to convert No. 767, which it bought from Sage; Rudin is eyeing a conversion for No. 845; while SL Green is expecting to spend $805 million on No. 750 to convert it into 639 apartments. Durst is also selling 675 to David Werner who is considering a conversion.

From your update photo it looks like they changed the general build up of the detail, the window was supposed to have been a single window but now has mullions with the same outline of the perforated screen, and there are no visible joints in the facade extrusions that show up in the detail section/plan, so it’s kind of a tossup at this point. Doesnt really make sense that they (any of them) wouldn’t have been installed by now.

This stuff is absolute rage bait-

Crown Heights locals voiced their concerns about a developer’s plan to rezone and build a 13-story mixed-use development on the corner of Empire Boulevard and McKeever Place at a recent public hearing held by Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso,

saying the new building would cast shade on nearby children’s play areas,

Unlike the 24-story towers across the street. Surely children cannot have playgrounds in Manhattan, where the buildings are even taller?

be out of context,

Instead, we prefer this in context one story parking garage enabling more cars to spew pollution and microparticles into our childrens’ lungs across the street. Also in context: the whole-block McDonalds drive-through next door, where cars idle next to the same playground. Brilliant.

and wouldn’t be affordable to local residents.

Instead, we limit supply to increase affordability to local residents. Genius!

I’m sure that shade would be a welcome relief in the summer when it’s hot out.

A parking garage is possibly the most least-in-context thing that one could add to a neighborhood. That new development can introduce ground-floor retail, help benefit the local economy and add new housing stock to the area. I’m pretty sure McDonalds can move into the new building if it was built as well, but it’d cater to the majority of city residents who don’t drive and the air quality would obviously improve.

The points NIMBYs raise to oppose new development are absolutely laughable.
