A 34-story apartment building is planned at 1765 First Avenue at 91st Street by the city's Educational Construction Fund as part of a mixed-use project that will include a 520-seat Middle School 114.
The project has been designed by SCLE architects and will replace two vacant low-rise manufacturing buildings, an existing vacant school, and it will use the air-rights from four adjacent low-rise residential buildings.
The building will have 155 apartments and a 30-car garage and the school will have 50,000-square-feet of space. As part of the city's inclusionary housing program, the project will provide off-site affordable housing.
The Educational Construction Fund was created in 1966 and it best known for its mixed-use developments such as the office-building/Norman Thomas High School on the southeast corner of Park Avenue and 34th Street and the apartment building/Robert F. Kennedy School on 88th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues.
The project, which was certified into ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review) today by the City Planning Commission, requires special permits relating to Zoning Text amendments and requirements for rear yards.
The project will have no rear yard.
1765 First Associates LLC is the developer.
