The city has tapped developers Artimus and Phoenix Realty Group to build what officials say will be the largest mass timber residential project in New York City. The city’s Economic Development Corporation announced Monday that the companies will build more than 500 apartments on city-owned sites along the Stapleton waterfront on the North Shore of Staten Island. A quarter of those units will be set aside for households earning between 40 and 80 percent of the area median income.

Developer Don Peebles does not want an “upstart” mayor. Peebles, who flirted with a mayoral run to challenge Bill de Blasio in 2017, extolled the virtues of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a favorite within the real estate industry. He emphasized that Cuomo is a “known commodity.”“You have got to be a superhuman being to run New York City,” Peebles said at The Real Deal’s NYC Forum on Wednesday.

Mayor Eric Adams says “nothing has changed” about the Elizabeth Street Garden project. But he also mentioned the prospect of “alternate sites.”Before Adams took the stage at TRD’s NYC Forum, I asked the mayor if he would continue to push for the housing planned for the Elizabeth Street Garden, a development known as Haven Green.
