While we love new developments, we can't reconcile the desecration of the city's charm. Yesterday demolition applications were filed to raze a pair of charming Italianate-style buildings at 827-831 Broadway in Greenwich Village. Motivated by the hot Midtown South commercial market, the buildings will be replaced by a 14-story boutique office building. The project is being developed by Quality Capital and Caerus Group , and designed by C3D Architecture.

Just last week, the Real Deal reported that Normandy Real Estate Partners and Ares Management are considering developing a boutique office building at 799 Broadway, just two blocks south of 831 Broadway.

New Details on Related’s Mystery Hudson Yard’s Tower

Related Companies’ next-to-open Hudson Yards building at 530 West 30th Street is nearly finished from the outside but details remain scarce. The building, designed by Ismael Leyva tops out at 32-floors and rises at the foot of the master plan’s open plaza.

Andre Kikoski is handling the interiors and per their page the 325,000-square-foot building will offer just 125 residences. Amenities will include lounges, galleries, entertainment venues and athletic facilities. Kikoski also mentions that nearly a dozen works of art have been commissioned for the building and the lobby will be defined by foundry-cast panels of molten bronze poured over crumpled linen. Something tells us these units will either be condos or very expensive rentals…

NYC's Slowest Residential Project Ever…

A residential conversion and addition of a Long Island City manufacturing building at 5-33 48th Avenue is taking its sweet time getting to the finish line. Things seemed to be moving swimmingly in 2014 when new sets of factory-style windows were installed and its red-brick façade got a thorough buffing. In 2016, framing for its four-story addition began to rise, but since then it appears little has been done.

When finished sometime this millennium, the building will hold 62, classic 2010-era apartments. Joseph A Sultana of JLS Designs are the architects listed on permits. For those looking for a more immediate move-ins, next door is the Solarium Condominium and the rentals at Fifth Street Lofts.

Read Carter’s review of 75 Kenmare, an upcoming Nolita’s condo development designed by Andre Kikoski and Lenny Kravitz. “The building’s fenestration is quite elegant with deeply inset windows in two-story high, champagne-colored thin panel. The fluted cast-concrete of the exterior does recall the elegant base of 740 Park Avenue.”

Also, read our story on the sales launch here. Currently available one-bedrooms start at $1.695M, two-bedrooms at $2.9 million and a three-bedroom home has an ask of $5.895M.
