Permits have been filed for a six-story residential building at 293 Wallabout Street in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Located between Harrison Avenue and Throop Avenue, the lot is near the Lorimer Street subway station, served by the J and M trains. Cheskel Schwimmer of Chess Builders LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 8,382 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have three residences, most likely condos based on the average unit scope of 2,794 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a 30-foot-long rear yard.
Yoel Rozenberg is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is now vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Great photo, so ‘Brooklyn’..
The apartments are so large because Hasidim typically have around ten children per couple. BTW, almost none of the men work; they are studying Talmud.
Then who brings in the “dough ray me”?..asked by me, an uninformed Kohan. The insular Hasidic culture is very ‘mysterious’ to me, and to much of the outside world..
The average is 6 not 10. Plenty of YOUNG men don’t work because they are studying, like many other young men. Head of household Haredi men are mostly employed, they are just employed in fields that directly interact with and serve their own reclusive religious community instead of the outside world. Much like those nice people with simple clothes and black buggies out in PA and Ohio.
My biggest question about them is how they can stand wearing those long wool coats in warm months.

That tone is antisemetic
Yes, Thank you, You’re right of course, everything is done exclusively within the Hasidic community. I have a friend who lives in Airmont NY,in Rockland County / Hudson Valley..a relatively large Hasidic community lives there, with much real estate development,especially homes and schools, all exclusively done by and for the that community. This also happens in Hasidic parts of Williamsburg, and other areas of Brooklyn.
Like any other community, they work. Unlike most other communities, they have bigger families. Like any other commuinty, some are rich and some are poor. Unlike any other community, the wealthy are helping the poor
Average household is around 7-8. And after age of around 23, the vast majority of men work. They have their own ecosystem and many are financially very successful.
I am a 64 year old grandmother of two 16year old twins boys and my husband is a family of four who are living in a two bedroom apartment in the Bronx and it’s not even room because they are in the living room because the bedroom is not big enough for their bedroom furniture and we’re afraid to come in and out of the building because it’s always something going on in this neighborhood we are very scared for our life Because it’s always fighting shooting in this complex river Park towns who do not interact with anyone in this complex we stay to ourselves people steal your packages
The vast majority of men work full time. You are confusing charedim / hasidim in Israel vs chasidim in the USA. To quite different cultures. I know because I a husid. I know many people and I can count on one hand those who don’t work
I grew up on this same block in the 1950s until 1977. It was a 6th floor non-elevated building apt 10. This was a good safe neighborhood back in da day until slumlords neglected our buildings. Dope became rampant too. Now there are new buildings that have high rents. So whose neighborhood is this now?
