Renderings from BILD NY Architecture are the first to reveal a new residential expansion project at 1188 President Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The existing property, constructed around 1920, stands two stories tall and houses a small ground-floor deli and five rental apartments. The expansion will add a three-story volume above, and several neighboring properties along President Street and Nostrand Avenue.
Renderings of the expansion show floor-to-ceiling windows set behind rippled concrete panels along both street elevations. There will also be a small setback above the fourth floor that will likely support a private outdoor terrace.
When complete, the newly assembled property will feature three ground-floor retail tenants and a second-floor community center, with residential units and amenity spaces on floors three through five. It is unclear whether the existing retail tenants will be allowed to remain in operation while the expansion is completed.

Things that make you go hmmm.
I don’t think so.
Plz BILD something else.
Happy they kept the original facade of the 1920s building.
what a disaster to put this on top of this century old building.
This is so out of context with the neighborhood, and i hope that this never gets built.
Any place to squeeze high rent apartments in rapidly changing crownheights
That particular corner was known as 878 Nostrand Av & President St which used to be occupied by a long time establishment named Evans Drug Store. They not only filled prescriptions, they had a notary, made copies, sent faxes for customers and sold greeting cards. I’m going to miss that place. 😭
