3:00 pm on April 11, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based Urban View Realty has filed applications for a four-story, 11-unit residential building at 245 Schaefer Street, in eastern Bushwick, located five blocks from the Wilson Street stop on the L train. The structure will measure 5,000 square feet, according to the filings, although chances are that figure is not completely telling and is much larger. There will be two apartments per floor on the ground and second levels, followed by three apartments per floor on the next two levels. The fifth-floor penthouse level will host a single unit. Woody Chen’s Elmhurst-based Infocus Design & Planning is the architect of record. It will rise on a 25-foot-wide vacant portion of a larger lot which is occupied by a small townhouse.

2:00 pm on April 11, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In September of 2014, renderings were revealed of the six-story, 70-unit residential conversion of the warehouse at 160 Imlay Street, in Red Hook. Construction has been underway since 2014 on the 224,809-square-foot structure, and now the Daily Brooklyn Eagle has the latest update on the progress. The 70-foot-tall structure has yet to receive its windows, but it appears installation may be imminent. The condos should average a spacious 2,648 square feet apiece, and will come in one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Roughly 39,500 square feet of commercial space will be located on the ground and second floors, along with amenities like bike storage, private storage space, a fitness center, and a small parking garage. Est4te Four is the developer, AA Studio is the design architect, and Jeffrey Cole Architects is the architect of record. Completion is expected in the spring of 2017.

Neighborhoods like Midwood and Sheepshead Bay are a largely untapped market for commercial development. But developers are starting to realize that there’s growing demand for new office space in heavily trafficked shopping corridors near the subway, even in southern Brooklyn. One property owner near the northern border of Sheepshead Bay took the plunge in 2014 and decided to demolish a few two-story commercial buildings at 1601 Kings Highway.

The homes will rise three stories above street level and should average a spacious 2,381 square feet apiece.

First Look at Macy’s Five-Floor Renovation Planned at 422 Fulton Street, Downtown Brooklyn

6:30 am on April 8, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In August of 2015, news broke that Tishman Speyer was acquiring five stories of Macy’s nine-story commercial building at 422 Fulton Street, along with the parking garage at 11 Hoyt Street/217 Livingston Street, in Downtown Brooklyn, for $170 million. Macy’s is expected to consolidate their retail space into 278,000 square feet on the lower half of the building (basement through fourth floors). Speyer would then expand and convert the upper portion into 10 stories of office space. The Wall Street Journal now has the first glimpse of the renovations, which Speyer has agreed to fund (as part of the deal), that will go into Macy’s portion of the building. Macy’s and FRCH Design Worldwide are designing their space. Work is expected to begin imminently, and the renovation is expected to be complete in 2019. It was recently reported that Speyer would be utilizing the EB-5 program to raise roughly $60 million in financing.
