Construction is progressing on 824 56th Street, a six-story residential building in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Henry 824 LLC is listed as the owner of the nearly 70-foot-tall, 9,430-square-foot project, which is slated to yield six units, a community facility, a 407-square-foot rooftop, and a cellar level. The property is located on a 2,000-square-foot interior lot between 8th and 9th Avenues.
Recent photographs show the steel-framed superstructure topped out and partially enclosed with CMU blocks, metal stud frames, and insulation boards. Temporary wooden fencing with orange netting lines the edges of the floor plates where windows will face 56th Street. Installation of the red brick façade has begun on the ends of the second and third floors, including the windowless eastern lot line wall. The first two stories remain obscured by the sidewalk shed.

No finalized renderings have been revealed apart from the below elevation diagram from the construction board. This illustrates the entire exterior clad in brick with a stack of wide windows on the main northern profile. The structure culminates in a bulkhead.

Construction on 824 56th Street began nearly a decade ago but stalled out until 2022. The building topped out last year and is gradually moving toward completion.
A list of potential amenities has not been disclosed.
The nearest subway from the development is the N train at the 8th Avenue station to the south.
824 56th Street’s anticipated completion date was slated for spring 2023, but a revised schedule remains unclear.

One of these things is not like the other.
That looks like high-quality construction. /s
Also, thoughtful design.
Have the buildings on either side been obscured by that sidewalk shed for ten years while this thing has been under construction? There oughtta be a law.
Really 10 years? Long live this wonderful development: Thanks.
More building in that area required
