Rumblings & Bumblings Responses: Glenwood Goes to Hell

1.

This is next door to our offices. It's a 49,375-sf plot and can be built to approximately 321,000 sf. The NB (new bldg) permits for this site (Block 761, Lots 10, 13 & 43) are pretty slim on data and are basically for foundation etc. However, one noted that the height was going to be 9 stories. I find that kind of hard to believe and thought that Glenwood might be developing low-income housing on all or part of the site to generate Inclusionary Housing certificates for sale or use on other sites. Thus far no agreements for such housing appears in Acris (which would have to be in place). It may be too early or the NB permits will change. I can't see building a 9-story bldg here, we're next door and 18 stories.

We have been informed that they are to start driving piles at the site in two weeks, and that it will be VERY loud for more than a month.
Funny how they can start this without having (as they claim), any renderings for the site, and will not have any for several months?

Um, Glenwood and "low-income houseing" are never to be used in the same sentence. I bet if anyone from there read that you would hear the laughing all the way from New Hyde Park.

Remember: Fight comment spam - add three plus four early and often

Glenwood is def building rental apartments on this lot. It will actually be TWO buildings and am unclear as to total height.
