A supportive housing project in the Bronx, a hotel in Downtown Manhattan and a massive residential project along the Queens waterfront are among this month’s biggest newly proposed projects.
Most of June’s biggest Department of Buildings permit applications — compiled with the help of PropertyShark data — were located in the Bronx and Queens. Only two Manhattan projects made it onto the top 10. Brooklyn appears only once on the list.
