A reader sent in a photo from this weekend of the Avalon Bay BFC project on the triangular plot of land bounded by Myrtle, Gold and Prince Streets. While this was originally reported to be a 42-story residential tower, the permit on file only calls for 37 stories. Perhaps the developer is still trying to round up some additional FAR. The same tipster reminds us that the Virginia-based Avalon Bay owns the row of of three-story buildings (photo on the jump) on the other side of Myrtle Avenue. The developer had its demolition permits ok’d on August 10, so the wrecking ball should be showing up any day. There are no new building plans filed yet for the site on the north side of the street yet—anyone know what’s in store?
