Construction is wrapping up on 1510 Broadway, an eight-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Designed by Gluck+ and developed by MacQuesten Development, East Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation, and the Local Development Corporation of East New York, the structure will yield 108 rental units in studio- to three-bedroom layouts with 90 dedicated to affordable housing and the remaining 18 set aside for formerly homeless residents referred through city and nonprofit programs. The project will also house 9,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The property is located on a formerly vacant lot bound by Jefferson Avenue to the north, Hancock Street to the south, Broadway to the northeast, and Saratoga Avenue to the west.
Recent photographs show the finished look of the building’s exterior, which is composed of white, gray, and blue paneling surrounding a grid of rectangular floor-to-ceiling windows. The L-shaped structure rises from a podium that occupies the full footprint of the plot and is topped with a communal terrace in the triangular void between the building’s wings. Setbacks on the upper floors are lined with metal railings for additional terraces.

As too often the base floor is terrible, but the floors above are rather interesting. And thankfully this isn’t more housing for the wealthy. A very good project all around.
The photo with the Halsey Street el station in the foreground is a revelation. The building actually is contextual. Thanks to Michael Young,
