Summer doesn’t mean a slow-down for developers. July’s 10 biggest permit applications filed with the Department of Buildings ranged from a nearly 772,000-square-foot residential complex in the Bronx, to a 72,000-square-foot mixed-use development in Flushing, Queens.
A new and controversial medical facility at the former home of the Long Island College Hospital is among the month’s top projects, and there is of course a new residential development project in the Financial District. The five boroughs were almost equally represented in this month’s list: two top projects were filed in the Bronx, three in Brooklyn, two in Queens, two in Manhattan and one on Staten Island.
