Flank Files Plans for Apartments and Offices at 60 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg

7:30 am on November 15, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

When the city rezoned Williamsburg in 2004, it hoped to encourage truly mixed-use buildings that knitted together apartments, office space, and light industrial businesses. Few developers have taken advantage of the commercial part of the zoning, instead choosing to squeeze as many apartments as possible onto a lot. Chelsea-based developer and architecture firm Flank decided to take a different path for their project at 60 South 2nd Street, where three quarters of the building will be devoted to office space.

Seven-Story Medical Office Building Grows At 101 Pennsylvania Avenue, East New York

7:30 am on November 9, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

When plans were filed to build a medical office building on the site of a late 19th century bank in East New York, neighbors rallied to try and save the neglected Renaissance Revival bank. But they were too late. The building already had demolition plans on file, which meant that the city could not give it landmark protections. Now we’re checking in on the construction of its replacement at 101 Pennsylvania Avenue, with photos from Tectonic.
