Permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 64 Meserole Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Located between Lorimer Street and Leonard Street, the lot is near the Broadway subway station, served by the G train and the Lorimer Street station, served by the J and M trains. Moshe Schwimmer of Meserole Lorimer Realty LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 99-foot-tall development will yield 88,665 square feet, with 69,993 square feet designated for residential space, 16,050 square feet for community facility space, and 2,622 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 99 residences with a total 118 residences on site, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 593 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 42-foot-long rear yard, and ten enclosed parking spaces.

C’mon, please a little more background info than ‘demolition permits filed for the five story structure on site”..what is that thing,it looks like a nightmare from some Sci-Fi horror film..
It’s a Brutalist Verizon building. Some other “telephone” buildings are more pleasing, such as “Titan Pointe” on Walker St. and an ATT building on Queens Blvd. in Rego Park.
Thanks, Brutalism is often interesting, but not this one 😀
The Verizon Building is 55 Meserole. If the address is correct, then this the wrong photo.
This appears to be the case; the building in the photo is 55 Meserole and does NOT appear to be the development site in question.
The Verizon building pictured is 55 Meserole St. 64 Meserole St is the older castle looking building across the street from the Verizon building that has sat abandoned for years now.
I’ve never seen this dystopian building. The angled front perimeter base is truly bizarre. This thing is so bad, that it’s almost a shame to lose it, almost.
We’ll have to wait a few more years when the manic dismantling of the copper network commences.
