MaryAnne Gilmartin’s development firm struck a deal to redevelop a corner site on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea.
MAG Partners was chosen to enter into a long-term lease with a sprawling, multi-block affordable housing complex for a dilapidated retail building at 335 Eighth Avenue,
The Real Deal has learned. The firm plans to redevelop the site into a mixed-income apartment building with a grocery store and community space. Construction is expected to start in 2022.
The seven-story project will qualify for the Affordable New York program, with 30 percent of the approximately 200 set aside as affordable.
NYC groups oppose Penn Station plan that includes annex for NJ Transit trains
Updated 9:55 PM;
A coalition of planning groups, transportation advocates, community boards and property owners have opposed the plan, which was announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in late February.
A demonstration is planned for noon Wednesday in front of the Hotel Pennsylvania, one of many historic buildings in the area that includes a church, that would be demolished and redeveloped.
Proceeds from the construction would finance the redevelopment of Penn Station, which includes construction of a proposed nine-track addition south of Penn Station to accommodate NJ Transit trains and improvements for the twin subway stations that service it. The underground station also would be redeveloped at an unspecified cost.
Plan for new N.Y. Penn Station would allow for more trains from N.J.

A grand plan to build an annex south of New York’s Penn Station to create more track and platform space for NJ Transit commuters could be reality by 2028, draft plans said. But it will come at the price of building skyscrapers, some up to 400 feet high, in the neighborhood surrounding the station.
The draft plans for redeveloping the much-maligned subterranean station, building an addition to it and redeveloping the midtown Manhattan neighborhood around it were announced by the Empire State Development Corporation and Gov. Andrew Cuomo Friday.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo did not hold back in his grandiose unveiling of his vision for a $306 billion statewide infrastructure plan during his State of the State address Thursday, invoking Shakespeare, Mark Twain and former state Govs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and DeWitt Clinton of New Deal and Erie Canal fame, respectively.
But he did hold back details, opting instead to broadly reiterate in his fourth State of the State speech this week that New York will climb out of this pandemic and its economic fallout by building bigger and better and laying the foundation for our future with a priority of expanding access to mass transit.
