Construction is underway at 103-105 and 107 Moore Street, where a pair of one-story commercial structures are being expanded into five-story mixed-use buildings in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Nikolai Katz Architect for Moore and Moore LLC, the 50-foot-tall structures will each yield eight rental units, cellar levels, and private rear yards. The larger building at 103-105 Moore Street will span 6,089 square feet with 5,463 square feet of residential space, 342 square feet of community facility space, and 283 square feet of commercial space. Its abutting sibling at 107 Moore Street will span 5,414 square feet with 4,899 square feet of residential space, 264 square feet of commercial space, and 249 square feet of community facility space. The properties are located between Humboldt Street to the east and Avenue of Puerto Rico to the west.
Wooden sidewalk fencing has been assembled in front of the buildings’ ground floors as crews work to gut their interiors and carry out structural reinforcements for the vertical expansion.

The following black and white elevation diagram was posted to the construction board for both buildings. The illustration depicts floor-to-ceiling glass for the ground-floor frontage, a symmetrical fenestration above, and a setback on the fifth floor capped with a flat roof line. Interestingly, the design is almost identical to that of 96 Moore Street, another vertical expansion project from the same architect and developer taking place across the street.

The buildings at 103, 105, and 107 Moore Street have sat abandoned for several years, as seen in the following Google Street View image from before work started.

The nearest subways from the development are the J and M trains at the Flushing Avenue station to the south and the L train at the Montrose Avenue station to the north.
103-105 and 107 Moore Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for summer 2025, but YIMBY believes construction will wrap up sometime next year.
