December 5, 2024Dec 5 Author a huge nyc zoning changes city council vote today — 💥🎉 Here's what NYC developers could actually build through Mayor Adams' new housing plan By David Brand Published Dec 4, 2024 Mayor Eric Adams’ City of Yes plan to add more housing across the city is up for a final vote in the City Council on Thursday. His proposal would specifically revamp citywide land use rules for the first time in more than six decades to permit bigger buildings and more homes. The regulations, which are known as the zoning code, determine exactly what a property owner can build on a plot of land — whether it’s a modest apartment complex, a soaring skyscraper or a row of warehouses. more: https://gothamist.com/news/heres-what-nyc-developers-could-actually-build-through-mayor-adams-new-housing-plan
December 6, 2024Dec 6 Author approved! 🎅 NYC Council approves $5 billion housing plan backed by Mayor Adams In the end, the City Council said “Yes” to Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to permit tens of thousands of new homes across the five boroughs. Councilmembers voted 31-20 on Thursday to approve changes to a thicket of zoning restrictions that limit the size of new development in every neighborhood in the city. Adams dubbed the proposal “City of Yes” — as in “Yes In My Backyard” — and said the changes will allow for the construction of more than 80,000 new homes over the next 15 years. The revisions will affect every section of the city, from suburban Staten Island to the office canyons of Midtown. The plan will allow some property owners to add an extra apartment or small home on their lots, ease the conversion of empty offices into condos and permit developers to construct bigger buildings near subway stations. The plan could put a dent in New York City’s deep housing shortage. A survey conducted last year by the city’s housing agency found just 1.4% of the city’s roughly 2.3 million apartments were vacant and available to rent. For apartments priced under $2,400, the vacancy rate was less than 1%. more: https://gothamist.com/news/mayor-adams-5-billion-housing-plan-to-reshape-nyc-approved-by-city-council

December 23, 2024Dec 23 Author we close out the year with a symbolic capper on the hipster era. the williamsburg crest hardware art displays in the early 1990s were the official start of the modern hipster era, so i suppose this must be the end. its being torn down for an apt building. the shows were originally organized by dayton’s own bill harding aka the grass suit guy, who funny enough went to school with and is friend’s with my spouse’s older brother. you can read about it below — He was the organizer of the infamous Crest Hardware Store shows at an old-timey hardware store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, just before that neighborhood became the poster child for art world gentrification. Over 100 artists would participate in the Crest Hardware Store shows, where works were installed among the merchandise and sold by the pound. In the following charming video of the second Crest Hardware Store show in 1994, Manny Franquinha, the owner of the store, chuckles and says, “I guess we’re part of a new art colony in Williamsburg.” (The show ran for seven years, then went on hiatus when Pool moved away from New York, only to be revived by Franquinha’s son Joe in 2013.): https://glasstire.com/2019/02/02/this-and-that-grass/ current crest pix — Crest Hardware in Williamsburg to make way for 75 new apartments, 11-story tower after $22M sale By Anna Bradley-SmithPosted on December 20, 2024 more: https://www.brooklynpaper.com/crest-hardware-apartments-tower-sale/ The iconic Crest Hardware storefront in Williamsburg, pictured in July 2024, before its closure and the sale of the property for redevelopment.

The Collective, which is composed of BRP Companies, BXP, The Moinian Group, and Urbane Development, will lead the transformation of an underdeveloped plot known as Site K, which spans a full block between West 35th and 36th Streets along Eleventh Avenue, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. HDSN’s east tower is anticipated to stand 72 stories and yield 1,349 residential units, including 404 permanently affordable homes. Its west tower will stand 28 stories tall and operate as a 455-room hotel. Notably, the project is set to become the first in New York City with a residential floor area ratio above 12.0 in more than 60 years, thanks to Governor Hochul’s housing reforms enacted in the FY 2025 budget. https://newyorkyimby.com/2024/12/development-team-announced-for-1-35-billion-mixed-use-project-at-418-eleventh-avenue-in-hudson-yards-manhattan.html Rendering of East Tower at HDSN, via ny.gov

December 29, 2024Dec 29 Storefront/retail vacancies was 11% in November. 14.7% in Manhattan specifically. Commercial vacancies was 23.6% as of second quarter. I don't think these properties include those off-market/not listed.

Mayor Eric Adams announced that in 2024, the city built the highest number of units for formerly homeless individuals (4,623), supportive housing (2,761), and senior housing (2,966) in its history. The city also closed financing for 27,620 affordable homes and facilitated nearly 14,654 households moving into affordable units. A key driver of these records is the city’s investment in public housing and rental assistance programs. In 2024, NYCHA converted 3,887 apartments to Project-Based Section 8, securing $1.7 billion in capital repairs. The administration also strengthened access to CityFHEPS vouchers, leading to a 40 percent increase in shelter exits using city-funded rental assistance. Additionally, Mayor Adams introduced the “Manhattan Plan” to add 100,000 new homes over the next decade and allocated $82 million to expand homeownership opportunities through the HomeFirst Down Payment Assistance Program. more: https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/02/new-york-city-achieves-back-to-back-record-setting-years-for-affordable-housing-creation.html

My building, along with basically every other co-op/apartment building in the neighborhood, are overbuilt by current zoning. Then, way more annoyingly in my mind, Northern Blvd is zoned in such a way that basically none of it allows for more than one or two stories to be built. There's zero reason in my mind that a major thoroughfare through a neighborhood of over 100,000 people should be zoned for things like one story commercial buildings with surface parking. I want Northern to be upzoned in a similar manner to 4th Ave in Brooklyn a couple decades ago. There's so much potential to turn it into a way denser corridor all the way from LIC out to Willets Point with easy access to tons of bus routes, nearby trains, etc. Then I'd encourage them to build a subway under it out to Flushing (wishful thinking, I know haha).
February 20Feb 20 Author yes northern is a prime example of a corridor that needs re-upzoned. they did it here in staten along bay street/richmond terrace. thats the northernmost street all along the waterfront. they now are in the process of upgrading utilities, like new sewer lines. i expect we’ll have at least some of the dense development they planned for follow in time. edit — plans for the brooklyn atlantic avenue corridor, which currently is a huge mess of a car sewer — https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGDeQWmOdOm/?igsh=cWl3bmhidjNzMG55 Edited February 21Feb 21 by mrnyc

February 21Feb 21 I'm cool with the casino going there as long as it doesn't eat away at the amusement park stuff. Coney Island is such a unique asset for a city to have and while the general quality of what Zamperla has added is barely a step above a carnival, it's still a fun time and would be a problem if replaced with a casino, which are obviously notorious for being fortresses no matter how glitzy the renderings make them out to look. That all said, I do like the look of that development to the west of the ballpark. That stretch is very quiet right now and would be great to have more commercial space fronting the boardwalk.
