by Abby Cox

DURHAM, N.C. — Foundry Commercial has facilitated the acquisition and rezoning of a 95-acre tract in Durham for the development of Brickworks, a planned mixed-use development. The Durham City Council approved the rezoning ordinance in January, which will transform a former brick factory into a residential and commercial area. Charlotte-based SpaceCraft will serve as the master developer for the project. David Batten and Geoff Loftin of APG Advisors represented the seller in the transaction. Upon completion of the project, Brickworks will include 1,880 residential units and 49,500 square feet of commercial space. Construction of the multiphase project is expected to take place over a five-year period. One-third of the site is slated for Phase I of Brickworks, which will include a combination of apartments, townhomes and retail space. Homes will range from studio units to three-bedroom layouts, with 5 percent of the residences set aside for families earning 60 percent or less of the area median income (AMI). Public spaces like sports fields, biking and walking trails and preserved woodlands and wetlands will also be accessible at the development.

NYC Planning Commission Approves Midtown Manhattan Rezoning Proposal to Add Thousands of New Residences

by Abby Cox

NEW YORK CITY — The New York City Planning Commission has approved the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX), a rezoning initiative that could ultimately facilitate the creation of as many as 9,700 new residences across a 42-block section of Midtown Manhattan. The MSMX plan covers four areas centered around Herald and Greeley Square, located between West 23rd and West 40th streets, as well as Fifth and Eighth avenues. The area today is largely defined by commercial and industrial uses, with current land-use rules restricting new housing development. Midtown South is currently home to more than 7,000 businesses, 135,000 jobs and various public transportation hubs, but the neighborhood has struggled to rebound in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as hybrid work schedules have become more entrenched. In addition to these commercial vacancies, the submarket is subject to restrictive zoning rules that limit opportunities for New Yorkers to live near their jobs. “For far too long, outdated zoning policies have limited the potential of this well-resourced area to help address New York City’s urgent housing needs,” says Rachel Fee, executive director of the New York Housing Conference, nonprofit affordable housing policy and advocacy organization. “In the midst of a dire housing crisis, …
