Renderings have been revealed for 268 Sullivan Place, a seven-story residential building currently underway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Bild Architecture with Aharon Machlis as the architect of record and developed by Mendel Greisman under the 274 Sullivan Place LLC, the structure will span 28,924 square feet and yield 37 rental units with an average scope of 682 square feet, as well as 3,659 square feet of community facility space, a cellar, a 32-foot-long rear yard, and 12 open parking spaces.
The renderings show a distinctive red façade with floor-to-ceiling windows and three stacks of balconies. Notably, the façade will feature multi-story vertical lights, which will distinguish the property from neighboring buildings at night.

What does this mean? The alternative to building housing is having existing owners like me reno their brownstones. There isn’t nearly enough housing. Imagine the grocery store was out of oranges and a truck just delivered three. This won’t solve the orange crisis. But they’re not luxury oranges just because there are only three. Even if the oranges are sold by a wholesaler called Luxury Oranges.
The only solution is to make it easier for more orange trucks to deliver oranges. Not just private growers. You’ll need public subsidies and help.
But the alternative is just more welfare for comfortable folks like me. Whining and wailing about luxury housing is all good and well…but it’s not a solution. Building more housing and ending the artificial scarcity regime is
