At 11 stories it’s obviously taller than 70 feet. One of these two numbers is incorrect.
This will be immediately east of the new Prospect House development at Classon & Dean. This should be a similar height.
“The building will have 82 residences with a total 228 units on the site”
Can anyone with city zoning knowledge please explain this? I am assuming that the site is already a group of separate parcels or that the property is being subdivided for a zoning or tax benefit.
There are a bunch of places where a single zoning lot is split into several tax lots. It gets confusing.
This section of northern Crown Heights is redeveloping super fast. It kind of reminds me of Williamsburg’s earlier days of gentrification where older industrial/commerical lots were turning into apartment buildings seemingly overnight.
Yeah, the transformation is pretty incredible. The last 5 years is like night and day for some of these industrial blocks.
There’s another parcel just a few lots east that just put up a construction barrier today. Look for that to show up on here soon.
It’s over. Say goodbye to Crown Heights. It’s galling how elected public officials ALLOW these high rise high expense buildings to ge erected. These cheap politicians use the homeless crisis to justify these buildings but the homeless are not getting in these buildings. Moreover, New buildings necessarily require an increase in wraparound public services. More people means more mail for postal officialsom to deliver. Yet local post offices are getting more postal workers. This is why people are getting Christmas cards and packages in JANUARY! More people means more trash yet NTC is not increasing the numbers of saniration workers which is why so much trash does not get picked up. More people will result in need for more police and fire to address public safety issues. Elected public officials CANNOT help their communities by allowing new buildings and not addressing how large numbers of new residents will impact the need for increase wraparound public services.
I know the area extremely well. If you prefer empty, garbage-strewn lots, scrap yards, single-story auto shops and fenced-in surface parking lots to living space for New Yorkers of all stripes and backgrounds then you are clearly very confused and/ or uninformed. And you do realize that the agencies and offices in charge of zoning are COMPLETELY disconnected from the feral postal service, right? Lol. Anyway, thankfully common sense prevailed in this area. Say goodbye to your beloved garbage and decay.
Em
the garbage and decay you claim in Crown Heights actually contains many industrial businesses who employ many people.Give me one address please of an empty , garbage strewn lot.
I live in the area and totally disagree with your negative characterizations.
