Construction is wrapping up on Six Garfield, a 12-story condominium building at 6 Garfield Place in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Designed by DXA Studio and developed by New Empire Real Estate, the structure will yield 33 units in one- to four-bedroom layouts, as well as a suite of amenities. The Aguayo Team at Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing is leading sales and marketing and New Empire Building is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Garfield Place.
Recent photos show the final look of the main building and its prominent cantilevering volumes that extend north over a low-rise annex to the property, which remains shrouded in black netting and scaffolding. The structure is clad in light gray brick surrounding an irregular grid of floor-to-ceiling windows, and features numerous stepped setbacks and protruding balconies.

The rendering below depicts the modifications to the existing structure at the corner of the plot. The red brick façade will be replaced with a lime-wash masonry envelope that matches the exterior of the new construction, its fenestration will be updated with modern floor-to-ceiling windows, and an additional penthouse level with a glass curtain wall and roof terrace will be constructed atop its parapet.

This should be pretty good-looking.
It’s great the existing historic building on the corner wasn’t torn down, however, the way it has been completely changed is sad and unnecessary.
