Excavation work is getting started at 22 Chapel Street in Downtown Brooklyn. The ground-up, 20-story rental complex is designed by CetraRuddy and developed by Delshah Capital and OTL Enterprises. The superstructure will rise 211 feet high above Flatbush Avenue and sit between Chapel Street and Cathedral Place. A total of 133,181 square feet of residential space will be created and spread among 180 units.

The site is located to the immediate east of St. James Cathedral Basilica and is a brisk walk from a number of subway lines such as the A, B, C, F, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains. The property is across the street from McLaughlin Park and has easy access to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.
