Proposals to construct a nine-story mixed-use building at 712 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn are now under review by the Department of City Planning. Local developer Joel Berkowitz, doing business as 712 Myrtle Rezoning, LLC submitted the plans for approval along with an application for zoning map amendments that would permit the construction of a new residential property.
The development site is currently zoned for manufacturing use and the project must proceed though the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) before any shovels can break ground.
Designed by Jay Architect & Engineering, the proposed building comprises around 50,000 square feet including 7,900 square feet of ground-floor retail and 62 rental apartments. This includes up to 16 affordable housing units.
Renderings of the building show a tan brick facade and large square windows with black metal casements, balconies for the most premium units, and a communal roof deck above the eighth floor.
Building amenity spaces include a communal laundry room, a bike room, and an unspecified 3,635-square-foot recreation room.
If approved, three low-rise buildings will be demolished to make way for the new development.

“You get a balcony, you get a balcony and you get a balcony!” 🤣
Yes but do they also come with free junk to unnecessarily park outside on them?
Judging from all those people on all those balconies, there must be another parade below.
Application please
What’s up with the mismatch in the floor count between the rendering and the diagram?
