Demolition is complete at 67–75 Fourth Avenue, site of a 14-story residential building in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Designed by Kao Hwa Lee Architects and developed by Shimon Kleinman, the 145-foot-tall structure will span 88,943 square feet and yield 99 rental units with an average scope of 839 square feet. The property will also include 5,872 square feet of commercial space, according to permits filed in July 2025. The property consists of five abutting parcels between St. Mark’s Place and Bergen Street.
The site sits cleared and idle behind wooden sidewalk fencing. A layer of masonry rubble covers the lot.

The rendering in the main photo above previews a rectangular massing with two large stepped setbacks topped with terraces on the upper levels. The façade will be largely composed of earth-toned brick surrounding a grid of recessed floor-to-ceiling windows. Black metal paneling will enclose the ground floor, while the upper stories behind the setbacks will be clad in a glass curtain wall. The structure will culminate in a roof deck and a short bulkhead. The property was formerly occupied by a row of six low-rise residential buildings, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before work began. Five of these structures were demolished, and one holdout remains at the corner of Fourth Avenue and St. Mark’s Place.

A construction timeline and list of amenities for 67-75 Fourth Avenue have yet to be announced.

That’s a 17 story building.
Another 99-unit building
If that’s the true motivation, we may be seeing one of the first higher profile example of a project actually being intentionally downsized to get under the 99-unit cap to avoid union labor. That and it might also explain not aggressively pursuing the totally appropriate buyout of the last red brick walkup on the corner. There was nothing special about that structures and now it’s likely the holdout building will stay forever as the lot it too small to make redevelopment worth it. The rendering, even though it shows a higher floor count than the article states, seems to presume this with the southern windows starting right above the corner holdout. The air rights purchase, if that’s what they did was probably still a cost savings to the developer over the larger footprint and higher unit count?
up to 99 units to avoid union labor, and probably to avoid true affordable housing
