I’m trying to figure out which parcels will be part of this development: it appears (though the parcel map could be out of date) that it’ll be the one parcel on Grand, and then a few adjacent parcels along Atlantic, but the parcel directly on the corner of Grand and Atlantic may be a holdout?
Good question. Hopefully the entire corner will be part of this development. There are still so many two-story residential buildings and single-story commercial structures along this stretch of Atlantic. This is only the beginning.
I think its about 60 feet of frontage on Grand, and based on the stated square footage and backyard depth, would leave you with about a footprint of 60′ x 40′. I don’t think the Atlantic Ave facing buildings are affected or included, but with the rezoning likely aren’t long for this world. I would expect a building of similar height to eventually anchor the corner.
18 stories🤔, not too shabby!, vertical integration baby!, onwards & upwards!👍, + 69 new places to live, kewl!🌳
more luxury probably high price units coming to gentrifying crown heights, lets see if the developer will build truly affordable housing, or will this be more business as usual ‘affordable’ housing policy
Where will I get my restaurant equipment?
