Excavation is underway at 1036 Manhattan Avenue, the site of an eight-story mixed-use building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by ASH NYC under the 170 Freeman LLC, the 83-foot-tall structure will span 56,408 square feet and yield 67 rental units with an average scope of 654 square feet, as well as 767 square feet of commercial space, a cellar, and a 30-foot-long rear yard. MNC General Contractors Corp. is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Manhattan Avenue and Freeman Street.
Recent photographs show an excavator on site and the plot partially unearthed behind sidewalk fencing. Below-grade work should continue throughout the remaining winter months and into the spring.

The preliminary rendering in the main photo shows the building rising with a large L-shaped massing with a single setback at the western corner of the eighth floor, which will likely serve as a private terrace. The façade appears to be composed of white brick framing a grid of narrow windows with prewar-inspired ornamentation, and the ground floor incorporates larger windows for the retail frontage. The building culminates in a metal-clad bulkhead surrounded by a roof deck.
The nearest subway from the property is the G train at the Greenpoint Avenue station to the south.
1036 Manhattan Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for the spring of 2025, as noted on site.

That rendering is quite uninspiring – the auto parts store was more interesting. Hopefully it looks better when built.
I had literally the exact opposite impression. I love human diversity of opinion LOL.
Manhattan Ave, Greenpoint, Brooklyn….as it states.
Fine looking building.
You sure that’s what it says? I mean like…really sure?
I like that the building is brick and it appears to be of quality, should be a welcome addition to this part of GP..
How should I look at it? In conclusion, it is a necessary step for construction: Thanks.
First year of architecture rendering….. sad out of NYC.
