Skyway Development Group won approval from the City Planning Commission this week for a special permit to allow construction of a 15-story residential condominium building at 27 West 19th Street.
Morris Adjmi is the architect. Mr. Adjmi at one time worked for the architectural firm of the late Aldo Rossi.
The building will utilize about 22,320 square feet of the 23,000 square feet permitted under zoning for the site and it will rise without setback.
It will have 14 floor-through apartments.
In 2004, Skyway was involved in the conversion of the adjacent, 6-story building at 29 West 19th Street into loft-style residential condominiums. The building was erected in 1854. The late Alfred W. Craven, owner of the neighboring 27 W. 19th St., originally owned the brownstone which served as a private residence and then a boarding house until 1903, when it was converted to retail use.
Other recent Skyway projects include 29 John Street and 71 Nassau Street, both in the Financial District.
