Construction is wrapping up on The Bay, an eight-story residential building at 2971 Shell Road in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Designed by Zproekt Architecture and developed by Rybak Development and Fouerti Realty, the 80-foot-tall structure will span 187,600 square feet and yield 189 rental apartments in one- to three-bedroom layouts with an average scope of 992 square feet and interiors by Molly Elizabeth Interior Design, as well as a 100-foot-long side yard, indoor and outdoor amenities, and 109 enclosed parking spaces on the ground floor. The property is bound by Neptune Avenue to the south, Shell Road to the west, and West 6th Street to the east.
Recent photographs show the reinforced concrete superstructure almost fully enclosed in the light-colored paneling and grid of floor-to-ceiling windows. The ground level remains temporarily exposed as a staging area for construction equipment and materials for the interiors. The sidewalk shed will likely not be dismantled until this work concludes.

This is giving me a neo-Art Deco look in its design and proportions. I love it. Great infill and added density.
Looking inside the living space, pretty good for relaxing alone, friends or family: Thanks to Michael Young.
Why so many parking spaces?
Assuming quality housing and R6, 50% of the total units required + accessible spots nd whatnot.
