Joshua Schust...This is out there from June 20, 2013<br />Joshua Schuster from Northpark Companies – 2750 Frederick Douglass<br />Boulevard<br />The site consists of three lots along Frederick Douglass Boulevard at the corner of 146th<br />Street. Two of the lots are privately owned and currently consist of vacant land and a boarded up<br />building. They are separated by the third lot, which is also vacant and is owned by the City. The<br />developer is proposing to merge the lots and build a mixed-use development consisting of 37<br />condominium units, commercial space and community facilities. The commercial space would<br />be retained by the current owner as a condominium. The community facilities would be deeded<br />over to CB10 and house the Harlem Business Alliance.<br />The 37 units would be distributed as follows: 5 studios (550 sf), 20 1-bedrooms (700 sf)<br />and 12 2-bedrooms (950 sf). The 2-bedroom units would also have two bathrooms. The residents<br />would enjoy a gym, a terrace, in-unit washer and dryer and other amenities. 8 of the 37 units<br />would be affordable to people earning 100% of AMI (3 studios, 3 1-bedrooms and 2 2-<br />bedrooms). The developer’s original proposal had been to make 4 units affordable at 80% of<br />AMI and 4 units affordable at 125% of AMI, but this was changed after this Committee<br />expressed concern that not enough units were available for people with truly low incomes. The<br />price for the affordable units would be approximately $180,000 for the studios, $220,000 for the<br />1-bedrooms and $270,000 for the 2-bedrooms. Maintenance costs are factored into the price of<br />the affordable units. Of the 8 affordable units, CB10 residents will be given priority on 4 units.<br />The finishes for the affordable and the market-rate units will be the same.<br />The building will be 75ft high (7 floors) at its highest point at the corner (below 80ft<br />maximum height permitted under R72 zoning). All apartments will have 9ft ceilings. The<br />building will only be 6-floors high where it abuts the adjacent buildings in order to match their <br />height. The façade will be in brick and have decorative details. The entire Avenue frontage will<br />consist of retail, with the residential and community facilities entrances located on 146th Street.<br />The building will be energy efficient under the NYSERDA Multifamily Performance<br />Program. It will also qualify for 25-year 421-a property tax abatements, which will be passed on<br />to the final purchasers.<br />This presentation is for informational purposes. The developer will probably seek a letter<br />of support from CB10 by the end of the year.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
