  • RXR breaks ground on new Garvies Point apartments | Long Island Business News

    THE BLUEPRINT:

    • RXR and partner Chuo-Nittochi Group break ground on The Arden at Garvies Point

    • Five-story building will feature 101 luxury rental apartments and retail space

    • Project includes indoor and outdoor amenities, parking, and EV charging

    • The Arden is scheduled for completion in 2027

     

    RXR is beginning construction on its latest addition to its $1.3 billion Garvies Point development in Glen Cove. 

    Along with its real estate investment partner Chuo-Nittochi Group, RXR will be constructing a five-story, 101-unit luxury rental building called The Arden.

    The Arden project, which had a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, will include 2,400 square feet of retail space with outdoor patio seating, 94 covered garage parking spaces, 72 surface spaces, and 7,750 square feet of indoor amenities, including an attended lobby, resident lounge, and wellness lounge, according to an RXR statement. It will also feature 8,300 square feet of outdoor amenity space with a courtyard, swimming pool, grilling stations, bicycle storage, EV charging stations, and walking trail access to Garvies Point Preserve.

    The Arden will join other Garvies Point rental buildings including the 385-unit Harbor Landing, and 55 units of workforce housing in two buildings from Georgica Green Ventures at the 56-acre mixed-use community that began rising in 2016. RXR also developed the 146-unit Village Square apartment complex about a half mile away in downtown Glen Cove. 

    With 167 residences, The Beacon, completed at the end of 2019, offered 800-square-foot to 2,400-square-foot condos at Garvies Point with prices ranging from $800,000 to about $3 million. Amenities at the condo building feature a movie theater, billiards and game room, library, fitness center, yoga studio, event space, outdoor pool and a 24-hour concierge.  

    First pitched in 2002, the redevelopment of the once blighted Garvies Point property, a former EPA Superfund site, has gone through changes in developers, a drawn-out environmental cleanup, a housing market crash and a few lawsuits that collectively delayed the massive project along the way. 

    The City of Glen Cove has had several different mayors since the plan was first presented. The city signed a land development agreement with the project’s original developers in 2003 and initial approvals were granted in 2008, but the start of construction was delayed by the massive clean-up needed to remediate the once-toxic property, changes in the development team and poor market conditions. 

    Though the name of the project, originally known as Glen Isle, and the plan itself has morphed since it was first proposed, Garvies Point was planned to bring a total of 1,100 residences, split between rentals and for-sale residences. RXR was assisted in the development with economic incentives from Glen Cove Industrial Development Agency and Local Economic Assistance Corp. 

    The Arden is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

  • Mixed-use development plans at site of former Key Bridge Marriott in Rosslyn – WTOP News

    After years of sitting vacant, the former Key Bridge Marriott site in Rosslyn is set for a major transformation. D.C.-based Quadrangle Development plans “Potomac Overlook,” a 1,775-unit residential project overlooking the Potomac River and Georgetown.

    For years, a piece of valuable real estate at the site of the former Key Bridge Marriott has sat unused, waiting for a developer with a vision to build on the location, which has stunning views overlooking the Potomac River, across from Georgetown and Downtown D.C.

    Now, D.C.-based Quadrangle Development has announced plans for what it calls “Potomac Overlook,” a 1,775-unit residential project with a planned 200-room hotel and public park space on the 5.5-acre site, one of the area’s most valuable, visible and undeveloped waterfront parcels in Rosslyn.

    “This is an exceptional opportunity to activate an incredible property at the center of so much activity in Rosslyn and the entire DMV,” Quadrangle Development President Christopher Gladstone said in a statement announcing the program. “Our design purposefully invites the public in to enjoy this unique water view property offering outstanding views over the Potomac River and toward the Nation’s Capital.”

    The development will be built on what was the site of the former Key Bridge Marriott, which was demolished in 2025 after the closed hotel at 1401 Langston Blvd. fell into disrepair.

    In March 2023, the county condemned the property after an ongoing police operation to remove squatters from the hotel, which opened in 1959.

    It was declared a “public nuisance” in May 2024.

    The building may be gone but the land is highly valuable. In 2025, the property was assessed at $47.5 million, according to ARL now.

    Quadrangle said in its news release that one of the reasons the location is so valuable is its access to public transportation and that Arlington is “housing hungry.” The developers also said it was important for the busy Key Bridge business area to have a hotel.

    The plans include underground vehicle parking so the project can provide “the substantial publicly accessible open space, including bike and walking paths seamlessly connecting to both the multi-use Custis Trail and Gateway Park, as well as seating, landscaping and public art,” according to the news release.

    Quadrangle said it has already filed the zoning application with Arlington County and it plans to move forward as soon as possible.

    “Led by QDC, the project team looks forward to working closely and collaboratively with County staff to refine the proposed project under a clear and efficient timeline. QDC is also committed to an open, transparent process and anticipates ongoing engagement with County leadership and community stakeholders throughout 2026 as Potomac Overlook advances through the review process,” Quadrangle wrote.

  • Plans for first mixed-use project at uptown Charlotte’s Iron District revealed

    A construction start date looks to be on the horizon for the Iron District, a new, mixed-use project on the former Charlotte Pipe & Foundry Company site in uptown and South End.

    Several land development construction plans were filed for portions of the 55.5-acre site this month, including one by developer Trammell Crow Co.

    Trammell Crow’s plan focused on Parcel E, or about 4.2 acres bordered by West Morehead, South Clarkson and South Cedar Streets.

    According to the plans, there will be a six-story, 278-unit building with over 22,400 square feet of retail space and a 130,900-square-foot parking structure with over 420 parking spots. At the center of the building will be a courtyard.

    Trammell Crow’s plans were filed on Oct. 1, as first reported by The Charlotte Business Journal.

    On Oct. 8, Charlotte Pipe & Foundry also filed a land development construction plan for the portion of the site below Interstate 277. According to the city’s permit website, the plans call for the “demolition of existing structures and site hardscape,” along with “rough grade and seed site.”

    Trammell Crow declined to provide further details on the permit filing, including information on a construction timeline. But filing of the permits suggests the project is moving forward, especially phase I.

    What is the Iron District in Charlotte?

    The multi-phase development will be a “complete urban ecosystem,” Charlotte Pipe previously said in a news release. Or, in other words, a new neighborhood.

    For over 120 years, Charlotte Pipe made cast iron, plastic pipe and fittings for plumbing applications in its uptown factory. But in 2019, the company decided to relocate and announced the following year that it would be moving to Oakboro in Stanly County.

    There were rumors that the site would become a new Panthers stadium. But those plans never materialized. Instead, the move made way for the Iron District where Charlotteans will get a new space to work, shop and live.

    Trammell Crow was chosen to develop the first phase of the project last September.

    The initial phase calls for 500 residential units, a 150-room hotel, 100,000 square feet of retail space, 150,000 square feet of Class A office space and over 1,200 parking spaces. That 12–acre site sits on the northern portion along Morehead Street. It’s unclear how much the development will cost.

    After the first phase of development, the site could host pocket parks, along with pedestrian and bike paths.

    And the district has already committed to donating about 4 acres for a light rail stop that would serve the development and the nearby Bank of America Stadium.

    The Iron District fits into a grander plan of uptown revitalization, which could see about $1.7 billion in investments. Other projects for the area include The Pearl and North Tryon Tech Hub.

    Tepper Sports and Entertainment also recently proposed building a 4,400-seat indoor music venue facility near the stadium.

  • $500M Mastic Beach downtown plan draws support at hearing | Long Island Business News

    THE BLUEPRINT:

    • $500M revitalization to bring 630 housing units, shops, and civic space

    • Plan backed by community at Brookhaven Town Hall hearing

    • Projected $5.7M in annual property tax revenue after completion

    • Redevelopment to create over 900 jobs during ongoing operations

     

    Some 250 people packed Brookhaven Town Hall Thursday evening where a public hearing for an ambitious plan to redevelop about 40 acres in Mastic Beach drew mostly support. 

    The $500 million Neighborhood Road Revitalization project is helmed by Jericho-based Beechwood Organization, which was designated as master developer for the plan by the Town of Brookhaven in Oct. 2021. The proposed redevelopment, which covers most of Neighborhood Road and Commack Road between Maywood Road and Doris Drive, would create a mixed-use downtown area with up to 630 housing units, 133,600 square feet of commercial space, and 34,000 square feet of community/civic space, in which the existing library and ambulance company would remain. 

    Questions and comments from speakers at the hearing focused on traffic concerns and help for existing businesses.

    “This is exactly the kind of dialogue we need,” Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico said in a town statement. “Hearing directly from residents helps us build a plan that reflects the real needs of the neighborhood.”

    The town conducted a blight study of 140 parcels along Neighborhood Road and surrounding streets in 2019, which confirmed that the area had enough blight, code violations and obstacles that have deterred meaningful private investment in the area. In Nov. 2022, the town unveiled a proposed master plan that aimed to transform the area into a walkable and vibrant downtown, with new housing, retail shops, restaurants, services and public gathering spaces. 

    Eric Alexander, director of Vision Long Island, which has worked on two previous plans for the Mastic Beach area, said he is happy to see this project move forward. 

    “Great to see robust turnout for the Mastic Beach revitalization plan. Community and business leaders have been working for decades to see the type of public and private investment the redevelopment will bring,” Alexander told LIBN. “The development team and town officials spent time through this process answering questions and adapting the plan to meet local needs. This community has been waiting a long time for this type of investment, and they are very deserving.” 

    According to the project’s draft environmental impact statement, the plan creates six subdistricts, including a Neighborhood Subdistrict that would allow townhomes; a Main Street Subdistrict for mixed-use buildings with ground-floor commercial/retail space and second-floor residential and/or commercial space; a Gateway Mixed-Use Subdistrict for mixed-use and multifamily buildings up to 35 feet high; a Downtown Mixed-Use Subdistrict that would allow multifamily residential buildings up to 50 feet high with commercial uses on the ground floor; a Civic Subdistrict for cultural uses, community spaces, educational facilities, and emergency service facilities; and a Parks Subdistrict for open, outdoor, active and passive public space. 

    The plan projects a significant increase in property tax revenue, rising from the current tax revenue of just over $800,000 per year to more than $5.7 million annually, of which more than $3.4 million would go to the William Floyd School District, according to the DGEIS. 

    Following construction, the redevelopment is expected to create 680 jobs in the redevelopment area, with an indirect and induced impact of nearly 250 jobs, bringing the total employment impact to 928 total jobs during annual operations.   

    Beechwood will need some time to assemble the 143 parcels in the redevelopment area, so construction on the project isn’t expected to begin 2027. The total redevelopment is projected to take four years to complete.

    Public comments on the project are still being accepted by the town until Sept. 29.

  • West Gloucester in mix for 3A zoning

    West Gloucester in mix for 3A zoning

    Officials this week mulled a possible multifamily zoning district in proximity to the West Gloucester commuter rail station as Gloucester faces coming into compliance with state MBTA Communities Act guidelines in less than six months.

    Officials also discussed Tuesday the possible creation of multifamily zoning districts at existing Gloucester Housing Authority property on Maplewood Avenue and Riverdale Park and possible mixed-use districts for the Shaw’s Plaza on Eastern Avenue and in the Maplewood and Railroad avenues area.

    This discussion came as the city has until Dec. 31 to comply with the state law. Communities that do not comply face the loss of eligibility for a number of state grants.

    The meeting was a way for the Planning Board’s Housing Subcommittee, the City Council’s Planning and Development Standing Committee and planning staff to get on the same page to give marching orders to the city’s consultant, RKG Associates, to model the various scenarios.

    The law, known as Section 3A, requires Gloucester adopt zoning to create one or more districts to allow multifamily housing by right. About half of the districts must be within a half-mile of one or both of the city’s train stations, with a unit capacity of at least 2,270 units, and an allowed density of at least 15 units an acre.

    In outlining the timeline, Community Development Director Alex Koppelman said there was a need for consensus to allow the consultant to draft and review zoning regulations, and have enough time so the state could review them and the City Council could hold a vote.

    At a public forum last month at which there was little consensus among residents, the consultant recommended three approaches, the first being the “simple approach” to allow the construction of three-family homes by right, instead of by special permit, in the downtown R-5 zoning district.

    This simple approach included the entire R-5 district. Factoring in lots that already comply and existing multifamily units, this could net 627 additional units over time than what is allowed under present zoning.

    A “minimal impact” approach would create several districts downtown, which comes up with 196 more units than what is allowed now.

    A third option for “housing production” proposed districts downtown and a district on Lexington Avenue in Magnolia with the potential for 244 more units than would be allowed now.

    On Tuesday, officials debated the fairness of zoning the entire R-5 district for three-family multifamily housing, or whether it made sense to create smaller sub-districts or narrow the zoning in the downtown somehow.

    Ward 2 Councilor Dylan Benson, who represents much of the downtown in the area of the Railroad Avenue station, was asked what he favored.

    “I think there has to be burden sharing,” Benson said, “and I think it shouldn’t just be in one specific area in the R-5 district.”

    Officials also looked at a proposed small district in West Gloucester of more than 17 acres along Essex (Route 133) and Lyndale avenues with a capacity of 416 units and a density of 27.1 units per acre. The area has sewer service, is unaffected by flooding and is proximate to the West Gloucester station.

    There was also concern about making a zoning district with mixed use optional as opposed to mandatory in the Railroad Avenue neighborhood in a move to encourage housing in the vicinity of the Shaw’s grocery store.

    Officials said creating a Mandatory Mixed Use district would require an economic feasibility analysis and pre-approval from the state, which would take time with not a lot of it left. There was some concern among officials that a developer might not keep the grocery store given the option to create just housing.

    “An optional mixed use,” Grow said, “would mean a greater likelihood that Shaw’s might disappear because they wouldn’t be obliged to keep any sort of retail use on the ground floor.”

    “We have to make sure that it’s mandatory if we are zoning that lot on Railroad Ave., specifically the Shaw’s there,” said Benson, who represents Ward 2. “This is critical.”

    Officials also discussed the creation of a district in and around the Shaw’s Plaza on Eastern Avenue, though this might be a subject for another time, they said.

    “I wanted to talk about Eastern Avenue because I think it’s really a good opportunity whether it’s included in the 3A or not,” Planning Board member Beverly Bookin said.

    Officials at the meeting did not give a date for another public forum.

  • Clean and secure your tagged high-rise or we’ll do it for you, L.A. proposes telling owner

    Clean and secure your tagged high-rise or we’ll do it for you, L.A. proposes telling owner

    After six trespassing arrests were made in less than a week related to a heavily tagged unfinished skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, the City Council will consider ordering the property owners to clean up the site.

    Councilmember Kevin de León introduced a motion Feb. 2 that would instruct the Department of Building and Safety, the Bureau of Street Services and the Bureau of Engineering to order the Oceanwide Plaza owners to secure the property and clear debris from the public right of way. The council will vote on the motion Friday.

    “Our residents and businesses deserve safe and vibrant neighborhoods, which is why I’ve taken action to ensure the Oceanwide property is cleaned and made safe,” De León.

    If the owners do not comply by Feb. 17, the city will begin its own cleanup process, the motion said. There is currently scaffolding, plastic barriers and other debris on the sidewalks and in the bus lane adjacent to the building.

    The Department of Building and Safety issued an order to the property owners on Jan. 31 requesting they remove all graffiti and debris and securely fence the building.

    Oceanwide Plaza was slated to be a mixed-use development including luxury apartments and hotel and retail space, but construction was halted in 2019 when the Beijing-based developers ran out of money.

    The incomplete high-rise has attracted many taggers and graffiti artists in recent weeks, who have collectively tagged at least 27 stories of the building. De León’s motion described the development as “a blight on downtown Los Angeles” and “a black eye on an otherwise vibrant part of DTLA.”

    The development faces Crypto.com Arena, which hosted the Grammys last weekend, and is near the popular L.A. Live complex among shops and restaurants. De León represents Council District 14, which includes downtown Los Angeles.

    De León’s motion orders the owners of Oceanwide Plaza to “restore the public right of way to its original condition,” and instructs various city organizations to step in if the job is not completed by the deadline. The motion also asks the city administrative officer to identify funding for the cleanup and securing of the site.

    The building attracts criminal activity and has become a hazard for surrounding residents and businesses, the motion said. Los Angeles Police Department officers are also investigating a report of shots fired near the development last week.

  • Starbucks, Just Salad leases bring new Hauppauge building to full occupancy | Long Island Business News

    Starbucks, Just Salad leases bring new Hauppauge building to full occupancy | Long Island Business News


    Listen to this article

    Starbucks and Just Salad have leased space at a recently developed mixed-use building in Hauppauge, bringing the property to full occupancy. 

    Starbucks leased 1,500 square feet and Just Salad leased 1,986 square feet on the ground floor of 410 Motor Parkway, joining the building’s two other food tenants, Mógū Modern Chinese Kitchen and Jersey Mike’s Subs. 

    Both Starbucks and Just Salad are expected to open this spring. The new Starbucks will be the first of the coffee giant’s stores to be located in the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge.  

    One of the first new mixed-use buildings in the Hauppauge park, 410 Motor Parkway was a speculative project from Craig Padover’s Aresco Management. Aresco purchased a one-story, 40,000-square-foot industrial building, one of the first ever built at the development formerly known as the Hauppauge Industrial Park, in Oct. 2015. With the help of some economic incentives from the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency, the company invested more than $15 million to build a unique new building on the 3-acre site, featuring food businesses on its ground level and three floors of office space above. 

    Designed by John Seifert of Huntington-based WSJS Architects, the project was the first to be developed under the Town of Smithtown’s overlay zoning aimed to promote economic growth in the country’s second-largest industrial park. 

    Aresco, which has its offices in the building, had already filled the rest of the office space with Bus Patrol, Hanover Bank and National Life Insurance Company, and it’s now filled all of the food space with its two newest leases. 

    Russel Helbling of Katz & Associates represented Starbucks, and Eric Gillman and Adam Bass of CBRE represented Just Salad, while landlord Aresco Management was self-represented in the 410 Motor Parkway lease transactions.
