YIMBY recently visited Prospect Lefferts Garden, Brooklyn to check in on 12 residential projects that are under construction or recently completed. The buildings are concentrated around the eastern and southern edges of the neighborhood, within walking distance of 2 and 5 trains at Nostrand Avenue, and the B, Q, and Shuttle trains to the west between Flatbush and Ocean Avenues by Prospect Park.
First is Le Parc, an eight-story mixed-use residential building on the verge of topping out at 757 Flatbush Avenue between Clarkson Avenue and Lenox Road. Designed by Morali Architecture with interiors by Paris Forino, and developed by New Empire Corp., the 82-foot-tall structure will yield 131 condominium units marketed by One Realty Global and SERHANT.

Renovations are underway on 665 New York Avenue, a seven-story residential building between Hawthorne and Winthrop Streets. Developed by MSquared, the structure will yield 117 rental units. The overhaul comes 14 years after a seven-alarm fire damaged the building and displaced its renters. The property was purchased by MSquared last year for $4.8 million from Urban American Management, which had acquired it from the LeFrak Organization in 2007 for $12 million.
A wraparound sidewalk shed surrounds the base, and crews were seen delivering materials to the third level on the northern side of the building.

2018-2034 Bedford Avenue is a partially excavated 6,240-square foot site sitting behind wooden sidewalk fencing and once held a string of low-rise commercial structure and local businesses before demolition wrapped up this past summer. No official plans were made public about what the new replacement will be, although it’s highly conceivable to see a new multistory apartment complex occupy the space. The site was last sold for $5.425 million back in January to an unknown buyer and awaits further announcements.

I am curious how they got the fire escapes to disappear in the rendering of 665 New York Avenue. These would most certainly remain after the renovation unless the whole building interior was replaced with fireproof materials and enclosed stairways were created.
