Excavation has begun at 311 Bergen Street, the site of a new residential project in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by Avdoo Partners & Development and developed by Bergen Owner, LLC, work is proceeding on an assemblage of four plots at 336, 338, 340, and 341 Bergen Street, which were sold by R.A.L. Realty and Morlef Realty Corporation for $44 million. No architect, rendering, or floor count have been disclosed for the project, which could yield a maximum of 133,500 square feet based on the site’s zoning.
Recent photos taken through the sidewalk fencing and construction boards show excavators digging on the eastern half of the property and a piling machine in the back. The opposite western end is already dug out and well below street level with temporary wooden walls holding up the surrounding land and building foundations. The reinforced concrete slab and perimeter walls should begin formation sometime later this summer.

Just a short distance from the property is the completed 58 Saint Mark’s Place, a 100-unit condominium building also designed by Avdoo Partners & Development. The nearest subways are the 2, 3, 4, B, D, N, Q, R, and W trains at the Atlantic Barclays Center station to the north.
Demolition permits were issued back in February. A completion date for 311 Bergen Street is unclear.

This is one giant site. I wonder what it could be. However, based on past projects from the developer, it’s probably just residential.
