• 7382 Amboy Rd My Tottenville Residential Review

  5279 Arthur Kill Road This type of development is one of my favorites, and one of the smartest methods I've seen for density building. This construction had the look of five townhomes for a long time, but recently, my discovery of, not 5, but 10 (cleverly-hidden) garages, and a daring maze of stairs out front, has led me to believe that this will in fact be 10 apartments or condos. You have to check this development out! It has a nice brick design, so its actually cool to look at, and is the most skillful way I've seen of fitting a large number of units on a small piece of property, something more people should be thinking about for the future. A similar development at 7382 Amboy Road is, in fact, only five townhomes, but they did well to keep a sidewalk tree that was in front, and aside from the wide driveways, there was no tampering with the streetwall. For me, that's what it's all about: maintaining a nice streetscape.

• Giffords Ln. & Amboy Rd. My Tottenville Residential Review

  "203" Main Street The address is in quotes because I'm not sure if it is correct, but right address or not, there's no missing this building and it's fatal flaw, which could in turn be fatal to struggling Main Street itself. This building is a combination condo-office space, four floors, all done up in yellow and red stucco. While the design looks like a barn-turned-small apartment building, its great weakness is its siting. Instead of being built up to the street, like the recently completed Eltingville Plaza on Richmond Avenue, it was built with the parking lot in front, and the building is pushed out of the spotlight, into a sea of asphalt. Talk about destroying the streetscape of an already weak avenue! A similar development up the road from the busy intersection of Amboy and Giffords Lane in Great Kills has me wondering when developers will learn to hide parking lots, which encourage cars to continue to clog our streets.
