Landlord Sues Brandon Miller’s REEC Over Abandoned Nolita Office Project
It appears that these buildings were torn down in November-December 2024, but the planned 7-story office building may never materialize. Owner of the site terminated the original developer’s lease in January. Hopefully a new project puts housing here instead.
Blows your mind how exactly? That poor people weren’t forced out of the absolute least desirable places to live, or that developers won’t be able to make a killing off of it by building luxury apartments there?
I thought areas with poor transit options, few modern conveniences AND occupying flood zones were the entire reason at risk populations were settled in Red Hook to begin with. Where else are they going to go, a floating island of garbage?
One step closer:
1861 Amsterdam Avenue
Located on the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 152nd Street at the former site of a medical office building, the 1861 Amsterdam project is receiving benefits from New York City’s former 421a tax abatement program, since 30 percent of the 78 apartments will be designated as affordable housing. The building will also consist of commercial space that has been pre-leased to an urgent care facility and pharmacy, according to Bravo.
YIMBY previously reported this as a 5-story 47-unit development so it appears this has been upscaled slightly.
real estate to valuable to have that surface parking lot there, bury it
the parking lot is just the end stub of manhattan ave, and used to connect to vernon blvd via bridge
Doesn’t this conflict with longstanding plans to build a pedestrian bridge at that site?
how so? the liberty facility will be built on the lot, the bridge is over the river
*and there have been many proposals for a footbridge west of the pulaski, hopefully it happens one day
So long as they save enough space to allow for the future pedestrian bridge’s southern approach and landing….
the landing would be on manhattan avenue, directly into the city park thats at the water’s edge. the basketball facility is just going on a lot that’s on the eastern side of the street

I don’t remember if this had a thread (think its just normally brought up whenever anything is done to it), but the McGraw Hill building is “still” being renovated.
One of NYC’s (and the world’s) foremost Art Deco gems. What they did to the lobby is a crime.
Development across Barclays Center. A simple box done right - I like the use of corten steel mimicking the stadium
Sad to see this late Deco building be demolished, one of the only residential buildings from Robert Walker.
And the rendering for the new building looks pretty bad IMO
