At the intersection of Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, and Prospect Heights, an eight-story residential building is planned, and YIMBY has a first look at the development, which has an official address of 1007 Atlantic Avenue.
The project will rise six stories and 60 feet, with 34 apartments spread over nearly 24,000 square feet of space, for an average unit size of 700 square feet. There will be eight apartments each on the second through fourth floors – surely rentals, given their size – and five units on the fifth and sixth.
Issac & Stern are the architect, and Chris Gonsalves, based right around the corner on Fulton Street, is the developer. (The duo are also behind a pair of smaller residential projects on the far edge of downtown Brooklyn.)
The housing units will be stacked above 7,700 square feet ground floor retail space. Because of the R7A zoning and the site’s relatively small size, the developer narrowly misses the threshold at which off-street parking is required, and there will be none included. (Compare this to the last two Issac & Stern projects we’ve covered, where the city’s parking requirements and residential-only zoning conspire to ruin the pedestrian-level view with blank walls and garages.)
The developer picked up the land in late 2013 for around $160 per buildable square foot. The price of the parcel today would be higher, and a condo builder would have been the more likely buyer.
