Brooklyn-based Southside Units has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 99 North 4th Street in North Williamsburg, three blocks from the East River. The project will measure 6,500 square feet and its residential units should average 813 square feet apiece. The structure will stand at 70 feet high but look like a seven-story building, thanks to three mezzanine levels that will contain additional residential space. Diego B. Aguilera’s Rego Park-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 24-foot-wide, 2,408-square-foot site is currently occupied by a three-story townhouse. Demolition permits have not been filed.
