The top 10 biggest real estate projects coming to NYC

A Manhattan project topped the list of last month’s largest real estate projects once again, and this one is about as far north in the borough as one can get.

The Inwood project from Maddd Equities and Joy Construction at 3875 Ninth Avenue topped the list for August at about 582,000 square feet. The City Council just recently voted to rezone the neighborhood, with the goal of bringing about 5,000 new units of housing to the area.

Manhattan had just two projects on the list overall. Brooklyn had the most with five, followed by Queens with two and the Bronx with one. Other notable projects included a hotel and residential development in Flushing from Chinese developer Yihai Group and a 22-story Manhattan office building from GDS Development.

The full list of August’s top 10 biggest real estate projects is below:

1) 3875 Ninth Avenue, Manhattan
The largest project filed for the city last month was up at 3875 Ninth Avenue in Inwood. The project comes from Jorge Madruga’s Maddd Equities and its frequent collaborator Joy Construction. It will span about 582,000 square feet and stand 30 stories tall with 614 residential units. The development will include roughly 66,000 square feet of commercial space as well, and 20 percent of the residential units should be affordable.

2) 76 Dinsmore Place, Brooklyn
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development filed plans for a roughly 275,000-square-foot mixed use project at this address last month, split between about 250,000 square feet of residential space, 16,000 square feet of community space and 6,000 square feet of commercial space. The building would stand 14 stories tall and contain 275 residential units.

4) 1241 Broadway, Manhattan
GDS Development is planning a 22-story, 318-foot tall office building for this vacant lot in NoMad, where it signed a 99-year ground lease earlier this year.

The portion of the project filed last month will span about 120,000 square feet with 132 condos across three stories. Overall, the project will include 150 market-rate condos, affordable rental units, senior housing and a school, and construction should start next year. The senior housing and school components should take up 60,000 square feet, and 15 percent of the residential units will be affordable.

8) 378 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn
Riverside Developers USA filed a smaller version of their plans for a Bedford-Stuyvesant development last month, roughly two years after the local community board turned down their rezoning proposal for the site.
