Coney Island booms with new all-affordable housing tower near famed Parachute Jump

Mayor Eric Adams on Monday helped break ground on an all-affordable apartment tower in the shadow of Coney Island's famed Parachute Jump – the latest in the area's sizzling real estate development. Adams grabbed a shovel to join executives from developer BFC Partners, along with those from Citi, Goldman Sachs and two city agencies at 1709 Surf Ave. The 420-unit building, behind the Coney Island boardwalk, will complete the final phase of a trio of properties BFC has brought to the once-underutilized blocks between West 16th and West 18th Street. The three buildings will add 1,242 new apartments.

Katie Prael Like LCOR's at 1515 Surf Ave., between West 15th and West 16th streets, it's another worthy addition to the Coney Island residential market, which is growing rapidly thanks to 2009 rezoning. The LCOR is an all-electric, 463-unit, towers-on-a-podium project which we had the pleasure to tour last week.

The new buildings by several different developers aren't as glamorous as John Catsimatidis' Miami-inspired Ocean Drive towers at the peninsula's western end. 3 The Parachute Jump near Maimonides Park, where the Cyclones play.

The only thing is missing is stores and eating places for a more affluent population. Except for a Milk & Honey cafe coming this year at 1515 Surf, that avenue and nearby Mermaid and Neptune avenues are mostly bereft of good shopping and dining options. (White-tablecloth Italian restaurant Gargiulo's is the historic exception.) 3 West view from LCOR's at 1515 Surf Ave. Steve Cuozzo/NY Post Advertisement The new buildings have ample ground-floor retail spaces. The problem so far is drawing tenants to them. That's due partly to the scarcity until recently of enough residents to support mid-market retail, and partly to the neighborhood's outdated reputation for crime and homelessness. The city's Economic Development Corp., the Coney Island Alliance business-improvement district and the developers, too, need to step up here. Otherwise, the 'new' Coney Island will remain less than the fully-realized community it needs to be.

Iowa football 2025 schedule preview: Week 2 vs Iowa State

The CyHawk game. The biggest sports game in the state of Iowa every year. And this year's matchup looks primed to deliver another classic game. Welcome back to my Iowa football schedule preview series, were we preview every single opponent on the Hawkeyes 2025 schedule. Last time out, we discussed the Week 1 matchup against Albany. And today, it's on to the Iowa State Cyclones, who the Hawks will face in Week 2. The Cyclones are riding a lot of momentum under head coach Matt Campbell, who's building a good program up in Ames. Let's take a closer look at Iowa State entering the 2025 season. Week 2: Iowa football vs. Iowa State Iowa will travel to Jack Trice stadium to play the Cyclones on September 6, with kick-off scheduled for 11 a.m. Iowa State is coming off an impressive 11-3 record in 2024, including a win over Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. They made the Big Twelve Championship game, losing 45-19 to Arizona State. Those 11 wins are the most in a single season in school history for the Cyclones, a testament to the job Matt Campbell has done there. Campbell took the Iowa State job in November of 2015 after Paul Rhoades was fired. He's 64-51 overall and 45-36 in conference play across his nine seasons in charge. He has three bowl wins and Iowa State has finished in the top 25 twice during his tenure. And he's got the players this season to make another Big Twelve championship run. Who are some of the key returners for Iowa State? Who are some exciting newcomers for the Cyclones? History between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones Unlike their week one opponent, Iowa has plenty of experience with Iowa State over the years. In their last meeting in 2024, the Cyclones shocked Iowa in Iowa City 20-19 on a game-winning field goal. The last time these two teams played in Ames resulted in a 20-13 win for the Hawkeyes. Overall, Iowa leads the series 47-24, but the Cyclones have won two of the past three matchups and will look to defend home turf in the 2025 installment of the greatest rivalry in the state of Iowa. Buckle in folks, this will be the first of many tests for Iowa in 2025.
