Plans for a low-rise residential and retail development on a parking lot between Wooster Street and West Broadway are being revised. The site, now a parking lot, is directly across West Broadway from the SoHo Grand Hotel and has a 311 West Broadway address.
The property, which has 125 feet of frontage on West Broadway and 147 feet of frontage on Wooster Street, was acquired recently from Moses Marx by United American Land LLC, of which Albert, Jason and Jody Laboz are principals.
United American Land, which recently built the Lyla condominium apartment building at 63 West 17th Street, has commissioned the architectural firm of Gwathmey Siegel for the project, which would have retail facilities on West Broadway and townhouses on Wooster Street.
Gwathmey Siegel is the architectural firm that designed the sinuously curved apartment tower at 445 Lafayette Street, now nearing completion, a similar shaped tower planned for the Superior Ink site in the Far West Village and a mid-rise apartment tower planned for 240 Park Avenue South.
A spokesman for United American Land said today that plans, which include a 150-car garage, were being revised and that no construction timetable has yet been established.
The landmarks committee of Community Board 2 approved the plan last fall, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission requested more work on the massing and setbacks in the design in December.
