Construction is nearing completion on 114 Snediker Avenue, a four-story women’s shelter in East New York, Brooklyn. Designed by Curtis + Ginsburg and developed by Camber Property Group and Urban Atelier Group, the 60,000-square-foot structure will yield 60 dormitory-style units accommodating 200 beds, as well a cellar level and a 60-vehicle surface-level parking lot. The property is bounded by Glenmore Avenue to the south, Snediker Avenue to the east, and Van Sinderen Avenue to the west.
The entire exterior has been enclosed since our last update in mid-October, when crews were beginning to frame the reinforced concrete superstructure with metal studs, insulation boards, and CMU blocks. The sidewalk shed has been fully dismantled, revealing the beige brickwork on the ground level and the gray, tan, and red paneling on the three stories above. Interiors should be wrapping up soon.

114 Snediker Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for fall 2025, as noted on site.

Oof, EIFS can be really disappointing.
– All the lonely people…NYC..Amen
Okay, it’s not an architectural masterpiece, but it’s a significant improvement over what was there. If the center helps women find comfort and success in life, it will be a great success.
Goodlord
Leave the EIFS aside, I just can’t get over that brick. I mean who…? How…? Why…?
If you’re gonna paint the styrofoam that color, go with a complimentary brick. If you’re gonna go with that hideous brick choice, go with a complimentary styrofoam color.
This s**t ain’t rocket science.
Were actual architects even involved here? I think it would be less depressing if at least the answer was no.
I’m looking for a 2 bedroom
Gorgeous!
