Construction is set to rise on 1024 Manhattan Avenue, a seven-story residential building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects and developed by Witold Brend under the Marria LLC, the upcoming 75-foot tall development will yield 28,436 square feet, with 24,666 square feet designated for residential space spit across 30 rental units averaging 822 square feet apiece, 3,770 square feet for commercial space, a cellar and a 22-foot-long rear yard. Brend Restoration is the general contractor for the project, which is located on an interior lot between Freeman and Green Streets.
Recent photos show a dense array of scaffolding and concrete formwork in place to support the rise of the superstructure on the rear eastern end of the plot. Work is steadily progressing toward Manhattan Avenue, and the reinforced concrete superstructure should begin to ascend over the coming weeks, possibly topping out sometime this spring.
