Demolition is complete at 85 4th Avenue, the site of a 13-story mixed-use building in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Designed by James Shannon of Strekte Corp. for Harry Einhorn under the 85 4th Avenue LLC, the 125-foot-tall structure will span 176,757 square feet and yield 193 rental units with an average scope of 647 square feet, as well as 5,415 square feet of commercial space, 1,996 square feet of community facility space, a cellar level, and 79 enclosed parking spaces. The property is located between St. Mark’s Place to the north and Warren Street to the south.
The above axonometric diagram posted on site is the first preview of the upcoming structure, which will have an imposing massing stretching the length of the block along 4th Avenue, directly across from a building of similar scale, 58 Saint Marks Place. The ground floor features wraparound double-height commercial frontage along the avenue. Above, the main bulk of the structure is ringed with balconies on every floor from two through nine. Setbacks begin on the tenth story, with a set of stepped terraces that recede symmetrically from the centerline of the main western elevation. Additional small balconies protrude from the wall between these setbacks, and the final story features a multifaceted layout surrounded by a spacious terrace.
The following photos show the current state of the site following the completion of demolition this summer on the row of low-rise buildings that formerly occupied it. Several excavators sit behind the wooden sidewalk fencing, along with other machinery and materials, and some remnants of debris from the demolition.

85 4th Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for summer 2026, as noted on site.
