A for-sale site on 129th Street off of Amsterdam Avenue could give way to a 150,000-square-foot, two tower residential building. The dual parcel, which NYDN reports came to market this week and could fetch up to $40 million, is in the newly-minted Manhattanville Factory District, where ritzy developments like a Soho House knock-off are already cropping up. The site is also close to Columbia University, which has gained a reputation for its aggressive expansion, and the City College of New York meaning that it, despite the area's relative lack of residential buildings these days, may be prime territory for a developer looking to build small apartments and rent them for not small prices.

NYDN also reports that residential rents in the Manhattanville Factory District rose 13.6 percent in 2014, due to the appearance of more luxury housing in the area.
