The old wood frame houses and brick walkups along Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg are slowly giving way to new concrete and glass. Today, we have a look at a new building headed for the corner of Bushwick Avenue and Powers Street, around the corner from the Grand Street L stop.
Joel John, doing business as Bushwick Powers, LLC, has filed applications for a six-story, 20-unit residential building at 70 Bushwick Avenue, in eastern Williamsburg, a block away from the Grand Street stop on the L train. The building will measure 13,657 square feet, and units will average a rental-sized 683 square feet apiece. Queens Village-based Julien Flander is the architect of record. The L-shaped assemblage will require the demolition of a single-story warehouse on the corner lot and a two-story house at 215 Powers Street.
