UPDATED 11:10 a.m., June 12: It seems like developers took a bit of a breather in April. While last month only saw one newly-proposed project larger than 100,000 square feet, nearly all of May’s top 10 were over that size. Among the notable projects are the second building at Two Fulton Square, GID Development’s Riverside Center Complex and a hotel in Bushwick. It was an even split between Queens and Manhattan last month, with three projects each, while Brooklyn led the pack with four projects, according to data from PropertyShark.
