Permits have been filed for a 17-story mixed-use building at 277 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The interior lot is located between Meeker Avenue and Havemeyer Street, a short walk from the Metropolitan Avenue/Lorimer Street subway station, served by the G and L trains. David Grunfeld of GW Infinity LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 165-foot-tall development will yield 142,842 square feet, with 73,411 square feet designated for residential space, 66,718 square feet for community facility space, and 2,713 square feet of commercial space. The building will have 99 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 741 square feet. The masonry-based structure will not have any accessory parking.
Kao Hwa Lee Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month for the two-story structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
