24-story rental tower above historic Fort Greene church approved by Landmarks
After revising their original proposal, developers won Landmarks Preservation Commission approval Tuesday to build an apartment building on top of a historic Fort Greene church. Developer Stretke, along with architects FXCollaborative and ADP Architects, got the green light for the project at 144 St. Felix Street, which will restore the facade of the landmarked Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church and construct a 24-story tower above it. The developers were asked to address concerns about the building’s height and massing, which the local community board and residents called “inappropriate” for the site and the surrounding Brooklyn Academy of Music Historic District. The revised proposal lowered the height by about 30 feet, from 27 stories to 24 stories.

Gracie Abrams drops $4.5M on another Greenwich Village penthouse
Gracie Abrams has purchased another unit at Greenwich Village’s 1 Fifth Avenue co-op, a year after buying a $5.5 million penthouse in the building, with plans to combine the two.

If combined with the other unit, Abrams' residence in the building could span five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and five terraces, according to The Real Deal.

Rare historic Greenwich Village ‘Renwick Row’ brownstone with intact details asks $12.5M
As one of a row of stately brownstones designed by noted 19th-century architect James Renwick Jr., the historically significant property at 28 West 10th Street is a rare opportunity to own and restore a New York City icon. Asking $12,500,000, the six-story townhouse, built circa 1856, is one of the "Renwicks" often cited when noting the downtown neighborhood's historic beauty; like many of its Village neighbors, it has seen several notable creative residents. The home still has many of its original details, including fireplaces, woodwork, and plaster, offering a chance to bring this rare dwelling into the 21st century.

A developer is looking to build an apartment tower on top of a historic Fort Greene church. Strekte presented a proposal to the Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday for a 27-story tower above the landmarked Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church.

Greenwich Village townhouse at the center of NBA gambling scandal listed for $22.5M
The Greenwich Village townhouse tied to a Mafia-backed gambling scandal involving NBA players has hit the market for $22.5 million, just weeks after the scheme came to light. As first reported by the New York Post, the swanky Georgian red-brick townhouse at 80 Washington Place was the site of rigged poker games run by the Gambino crime family starting in 2019, which allegedly used professional basketball stars to lure high rollers and netted millions of dollars in winnings. Before its stint as a gambling den, the property was rented by Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, and has been on and off the market for more than a decade before finding an undisclosed buyer last year.
