Christ Church, a New York City Episcopal Church, sought to purchase Lots 48 and 49, together a 10,000 sf site, occupied by Saint Anne’s Catholic Church on which to operate their Episcopal Church and to develop a residential and community facility. We were commissioned to perform a zoning study and to propose a development site plan to aid the church in assessing the feasibility of altering the existing site to accommodate their needs.

Our proposal retained the non-landmarked 1847 church on Lot 49 and cleared Lot 48 to be considered a vacant site to be developed as a mixed-use 20-story residential containing approximately 3,000 sf per floor. The current New York City zoning for this site, C6-1, permits up to 60,131 square feet of development “as-of-right” at this site allowing for this amount of development. The load factor of the building would be 85%, giving an average of 2,550 rentable square feet per floor. Community facilities will occupy the lower portion of the building and the upper floors will be developed as residential under the Quality Housing Program. The bulk diagram uses the alternate sky plane while also using the Quality Housing FAR and lot coverage.
