Robert A.M. Stern's Upper East Side Condo Takes Shape
[Via Tectonic.]
A new addition to the Upper East Side is starting to look like an unmistakable contribution from architect Robert A.M. Stern. Tectonic brings us photos of the construction on 20 East End Avenue, which is due to be complete in 2016. The 18-story residential building already has units on the market, ranging from a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment covering 1,912 square feet on the third floor that's asking $4.535 million to the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom 6,050-square-foot penthouse that's asking $35 million. The apartments feature 11-foot ceilings (or higher) in most units, a WiFi-enabled bathroom floor heating system, and fireplaces (wood-burning or gas) in some units.
$4.25M Award-Winning Forest Hills Tudor Is Classic, Mostly
Our semi-regular feature, Monday Mansion, examines the most interesting mega homes on the market in the far reaches of New York. Have a listing in mind that we're missing? Tell us about it. To the outer boroughs we go!
[Which of these things is not like the other?]
Let's get this out of the way: the kitchen in this house makes no sense. The lovely Tudor at 70 Greenway South in Forest Hills Gardens won an award for its design excellence way back in 1929—plaque diligently pictured in its listing—and the home's owners have done a fine job maintaining its classic character. But what's going on with that kitchen? It's a question that might not have an answer, but better a stove and range than cauldron bubbling over an open flame any day. The house has four bedrooms, a two-car garage, and a basement large enough to be converted into an in-law suite. It's asking $4.25 million.
First Look at Downtown Brooklyn's 1,000-Foot Supertall Tower
[Rendering of 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension. Via New York YIMBY.]
The rising Brooklyn skyline is about to get one edifice that leaves the rest in its shadow, at least figuratively. JDS Development Group's planned 1,000-foot mixed-use tower at 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn finally has a first rendering courtesy of New York YIMBY that shows off a shiny and slender supertall. The rendering should be taken with a grain of salt, though—it isn't often, if ever, that the first look at a skyline-changing tower represents what will actually rise. In any case, YIMBY reports that the SHoP-designed tower will stand 90 stories and be composed of 550 residential units and 140,000 square feet of commercial space.
One57's Rental Portion Up For Grabs For $250M
The rental portion of One57 is looking for a new owner. Extell wants to offload the building's seven floors of rentals, between floors 32 and 39, for $250 million, the Wall Street Journal reports. The sale will lead to certain tax advantages for the developer, the Journal explains. Extell head honcho Gary Barnett says that he wants $3,800 per square foot for the rentals, or just over $6.5 million for each apartment. As of May, apartments in the tower started renting from $13,350 a month for a one-bedroom to $50,366 a month for a three-bedroom, the Journalreports.
Is This What Annabelle Selldorf's Bowery Tower Will Look Like?
Construction is now underway at the site of the Annabelle Selldorf-designed tower that's replacing the Salvation Army Residences on the corner of Bowery and East 3rd Street. When last we checked in, the building at 347 Bowery had surpassed about half of its 13-story height, but what exactly it would look like was still up in the air. EV Grieve has now uncovered a rendering for the project on Annabelle Selldorf's website. The rendering shows a 13-story building with ground floor retail topped by nine terraced floors. Urban Muse, who's developing the site, says the building will have five three-bedroom apartmentsranging from 2,100 to 4,000 square feet.
Whimsical 'Solar Carve' Gets Okay to Rise Along the High Line
Three years after designs were first revealed for the futuristic wedge-shaped Solar Carve building, its developers have received the final go-ahead for the project, YIMBY reports. When complete, the building will stand 12 stories and 190 feet adjacent to the High Line on Tenth Avenue at 14th Street. According to permits filed for the site, it will have 116,205 square feet of commercial space, including retail space on the lower two levels. Everything above that is office space, including a terrace on the second floor for people working in the building.

The mayor is moving to tackle criminal activity in NYCHA developments. According to the Daily News, Mayor Bill de Blasio will institute policies to speed the eviction of of those with criminal records living at New York City Housing Authority complexes. He's also looking to expand on what warrants an eviction from the public housing developments. For example, previously, only crimes committed on NYCHA property were grounds for eviction. Now, the plan is to account for crimes committed anywhere by someone who gives an NYCHA address.

[A deed. Photo by Caitlin Childs/Flickr.]
Unsavory real estate companies are accused of hiding behind shell companies to trick people out of their homes, the New York Times reported. The paper's extensive piece profiled several homeowners who said great promises were made, but never delivered upon and, in the end, the homes were no longer their own. In one case, homeowners said they were promised refinancing of their back mortgage payments only to learn that they had simply signed over their home, for free. In another case, a woman was left essentially homeless, residing in an illegally converted garage with no heat.
