Work restoring dunes compromised by superstorm Sandy in 2012 is four years behind schedule, thanks to overbooked dredgers, winter storms and the complex process of acquiring land.
Rebuilding the dunes will prevent the ocean from overtopping Fire Island and threatening the mainland, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the lead agency on the project.

Flushing community criticizes modern look of planned building

Flushing’s Great Wall is being torn down.
Great Wall Supermarket, on Northern Boulevard and Leavitt Street, will be replaced next year by a glass-clad, 11-story building after the supermarket’s owners decided to not renew the lease, according to city records. The proposed building’s modern, sleek look will tower next to the Civil War-era Flushing Town Hall, causing many in the community to criticize the new building for not conforming to the appearance of its historic neighbor.
“This thing looks like it’s something out of Miami Vice,” Flushing resident Vincent Amato said. “You can kiss goodbye any sense of history this neighborhood still had.”
Despite community resistance, Community Board 7 passed a request to change the area’s zoning, allowing the building’s developer, George Chu, to move another step closer toward his goal of developing a mixed-use building with a hotel, store fronts, community space and apartment units.
Flushing Town Hall wrote a letter expressing their support of the new development, and the planned community space will be used often by Town Hall events. During the community board meeting, the board members defended their decision to allow the building to be constructed.
“We’re not granting something that’s significantly different then what could be there,” Chuck Apelian said. “None of us are negligent of the history.”

JMH Development has acquired a site for its third project in Miami
Beach as it picked up a property on Indian Creek Drive for $5.65
million.
The New York-based developer is already building the Starwood Aloft Hotel at Collins Avenue and 23rd Street and a 20-unit, 50,000-square-foot condo building at Collins Avenue and Third Street. Now JMH Development and partner PSB Capital own 17,150 square feet at 2901 and 2911 Indian Creek Drive, a site purchased from Marriott International.
"Even though we are New Yorkers we like the beach," said Jason Halpern, founder of JHM Development. "What we like about Indian Creek is we like what's going on in the neighborhood."
There are two other condo projects under construction in the neighborhood along Biscayne Bay. Halpern said he'll seek approval for a 30,000-square-foot condo building, with approximately 15 units.
Part of the property has a historic structure, which Halpern said he would maintain as part of the project. His Miami Beach hotel project, as well as several of his developments in New York, is designed to protect historical buildings.
"These boutique historical projects we thrive on because we are doing many of them," Halpern said.
Ackman-Ziff was the broker for the buyers in the deal. Titan Capital financed the deal with a $4 million loan.
