Last month, YIMBY reported on new office space in the works for 187 Cook Street in East Williamsburg. Now, we have the first rendering of the development, which will rise between Bushwick Avenue and White Street.
Property owner Martin Forrester has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 124 Sterling Street, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, located two blocks from the Sterling Street stop on the 2/5 trains. The structure will measure 3,201 square feet, which means its full-floor residential units should average 1,067 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The ground floor apartment will be a duplex and will feature additional private space in the cellar. Brooklyn Navy Yard-based Freeform + Deform is the architect of record. The 2,575-square-foot corner site, at Bedford Avenue, was occupied by a four-story apartment building until it was demolished in 2006.
Property owner Patrick Moses is following up on applications originally filed in 2013 for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 11 Conselyea Street, in northern Williamsburg, located two blocks from either the Metropolitan Av. or Lorimer St. stops on the G or L trains, respectively. The new structure will measure 6,499 square feet, and its residential units should average 714 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Both apartments on the fourth floor will also feature space – bedrooms, specifically – on the building’s upper penthouse level. Astoria-based Christopher V. Papa is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in 2015 to raze the site’s existing three-story townhouse.
David Weisz, doing business as an anonymous Midtown-based LLC, has filed applications for two four-story, four-unit residential building at 1430-1432 51st Street, in the heart of Borough Park, located four blocks from the 50th Street on the D train. The structures will measure 7,259 and 7,083 square feet respectively. Across both buildings, the full-floor residential units should average 1,377 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The buildings will be topped by a open roof terrace. Hudson Valley-based Kenneth Thomas is the applicant of record. The 50-foot-site’s two-and-a-half-story house has yet to receive demolition permits.
It was over a year ago YIMBY last checked in on the mixed-use project under construction at 626 Flatbush Avenue, between Fenimore Street and Hawthorne Street in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. At that time, the 23-story building had just topped out. Now, as seen in photos sent to us by our friend Tectonic, exterior work on the Marvel Architects-designed building is very close to done.
