New York, NY

Envoie Projects was brought on board to provide local knowledge and full project management services for an offshore investment group undertaking their first development project in New York City. The project is located on the corner of 46th Street and Tenth Avenue in New York City’s Clinton historical district. Most of the urban fabric consists of six story brick masonry tenement buildings in addition to lower scale brownstones. This building typology is arranged into long rectilinear blocks with their street walls located on the property lines. Setbacks are provided in the rear yards, creating units that face the street and some that face the inner courtyards and gardens. The 20-unit residential building is 26,000 SF and has a variety of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, tenant amenity spaces, and first floor retail space. The design maintains the area’s brownstone tenement content and reconstructing the original urban block by infilling a corner void. Strict Historical district requirements were followed.
