Vacant lots are quickly becoming a thing of the past in Bed-Stuy, where developers are snatching them up and building little residential projects. Today YIMBY has the reveal for a four-story rental building under construction at 655 Quincy Street, between Stuyvesant Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard.
Back in December of 2014, YIMBY reported on the Landmarks Preservation Commission approval of the four-story, eight-unit mixed-use building at 112 Atlantic Avenue, in northern Cobble Hill (within the Cobble Hill Historic District), after initial plans for the site were rejected the month before. Curbed NY now has a new rendering of the project, which is reportedly now under construction and using the address 325 Henry Street. The latest filings describe a 25,244-square-foot structure with 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The condominium units will begin on the second floor and should average a very spacious 2,169 square feet apiece. There will also be six bike storage spaces and an eight-car automated parking garage in the cellar. BKSK Architects is designing, and Avery Hall Investments and OTL Enterprises are the developers. Completion is probably expected later this year or in 2017.
William Schneider, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, nine-unit residential building at 41 Garnet Street, on the southern end of Carroll Gardens, located a blocks from the Smith-9th Streets stop on the F/G trains. The new building will measure 11,094 square feet in total and units will average 889 square feet apiece, which means either rentals or condos could be in the works. Ruslan Goychayev’s Brooklyn-based RSLN Architecture is the architect of record. The 40-foot-wide lot is currently occupied by a single-story garage. Demolition permits have not yet been filed.
William Schneider, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at 100 Suydam Street, in western Bushwick, located two blocks from the Central Avenue stop on the M train. The new building will encompass 13,435 square feet and will include 1,846 and 574 square feet retail and community facility space, respectively, on the ground floor. The residential units should average a rental-sized 755 square feet apiece, and two of the three residential units on the fourth floor will feature penthouse space on a fifth-floor level. Ruslan Goychayev’s Brooklyn-based RSLN Architecture is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in early 2015 for the existing single-story structure at 102 Suydam Street.
An abandoned factory on the southern edge of Borough Park was demolished last year, and now new rental apartments are rising in its place. YIMBY has a look at the design for the new building at 968 60th Street, near the border with Sunset Park and Dyker Heights.
