Permits have been filed for a 16-story mixed-use building at 546 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Located between 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue, the lot is near the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center subway station, served by the B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains. Chase Weber is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 180-foot-tall development will yield 86,519 square feet, with 83,237 designated for residential space and 3,282 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 99 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 840 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
Thomas Scibilia is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed earlier this month for the two-story structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

This beautiful intact historic facade shouldn’t be destroyed.
Of all the crap to choose from, an absolutely perfect piece of Brooklyn gets the bullseye. Sickening.
I don’t know, maybe that’s an overreaction. If the Fourth Ave development is excellent I suppose it’s worth it.
546 is just a little sliver. Does anyone know if this will go all the way to the corner of 4th?
Why isn’t this block landmarked?
Not a direct answer vis a vis landmark status, but i believe the Fourth Ave rezoning overlay consisted of a certain depth off Fourth to facilitate larger buildings. This would represent probably 100-125 feet on side streets, the i don’t have the data in front me.
Don’t do it
The demolition permits include the two story vacant commercial slop building that was built on the corner, so it looks like this will include 32-40 on 4th Avenue
It disappoints me that they’re going to tear down yet another historic home in order to put up a 16-story building that will almost certainly be a “luxury” eyesore. People would be much more pro-development if NYC developers 1) prioritized building on vacant lots (of which there are many) instead of tearing down historic buildings, 2) learned that most people love adaptive reuse of old buildings (bonus: this is better for the environment too), 3) built new construction that was visually appealing and complimentary to surrounding buildings instead of the modern, ugly concrete and glass boxes they quickly slap up and cash in on.
