The City Planning Commission today certified into ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Process) a 85-unit, mid-block, residential condominium project at 311 West Broadway in SoHo.
The project, which extends through the block to Wooster Street, is directly across West Broadway from the SoHo Grand Hotel, which is at the far right in the rendering at the right.
The developers, United American Land LLC of which Albert, Jason and Jody Laboz are principals, are seeking a special permit to ease setback and rear-yard zoning requirements for the site. A revised plan for the project has been approved by the city?s Landmarks Preservation Commission and it now calls for a 9-story building on West Broadway and a 8-story building on Wooster Street. The buildings will share a 55-foot-wide rear-yard in the middle of the block.
The site, now a parking lot, has 125 feet of frontage on West Broadway and 147 feet of frontage on Wooster Street.
United American Land, which acquired the site recently from Moses Marx and recently built the Lyla condominium apartment building at 63 West 17th Street, has commissioned Gwathmey Siegel & Associates for this project. Gwathmey Siegel is the architectural firm of the sinuously curved tower at 445 Lafayette Street, now nearing completion.
The development is planned to have a 150-car underground garage.
Under ULURP, the project will now go to the local community board, the Borough President's office, and then back to the City Planning Commission.
