Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building with affordable housing at 509 West 48th Street in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, between 10th and 11th Avenues, the site closest to the 50th Street subway station on the C and E trains. Douglaston Development Co. is listed as the owner of the application.
The proposed 77-foot-tall development would provide 131,720 square feet, with 125,694 square feet for residential space and 6,026 square feet for community facility space. The building would house 158 residential units, likely rentals given the average unit size of 795 square feet. The concrete building would also have an on-site laundry, bike storage, and fitness room. The ground floor would feature an affordable rehearsal and co-working space for artists, operated by the nonprofit IndieSpace. Adjacent to the building is an open space open to the public, designed and maintained by the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation and constructed by Levine Builders.
S9 Architecture and Engineering is listed as the architect of record.
Because the site is vacant, a demolition permit likely won't be needed. No completion date has been announced.
