Permits have been filed to expand a two-story structure into a four-story residential building at 489 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Located between Union Avenue and Borinquen Place, the lot is near the Metropolitan Avenue-Lorimer Street subway station, serviced by the G and L trains. Aryeh Mendlowic is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield 6,710 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have ten residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 671 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, penthouse, and a 30-foot-long rear yard.
Leandro Nils Dickson Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the project calls for a vertical and horizontal expansion. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
