Back in April of 2016, YIMBY reported on new building applications for 846 Monroe Street, in Brooklyn’s Ocean Hill neighborhood. Since then, work has begun on the vacant, 28-foot-wide lot, and now, we have the reveal for the project, which is being designed by Joshua Felix of J Goldman Design/BEAM Group.
An Upper West Side-based property owner has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential project at 102 Somers Street, in Ocean Hill. The new building will measure 8,140 square feet and its residential units should average 701 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. There will be two apartments across the ground floor and associated mezzanine level, followed by two apartments on each of the second and third floors, and two more apartments across the fourth floor and associated upper mezzanine level. Gerald J. Caliendo’s Briarwood-based firm is the architect of record. The 1,875-square-foot plot is vacant.
Brooklyn-based United Developers has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 163 MacDougal Street, in Ocean Hill. The project will measure 7,104 square feet and its residential units should average 688 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. There will be two unit across each above-grade floor. Pirooz Soltanizadeh’s Jamaica-based Royal Engineering is the applicant of record. The 25-foot-wide, 2,500-square-foot lot is vacant. Last year, the same developer renovated the three-story townhouse next door, at 165 MacDougal Street, into three apartments.
Construction has topped out and façade installation is underway on the seven-story, 27-unit residential redevelopment underway at 1004 Gates Avenue, in Ocean Hill. The building’s design has also slightly changed, as seen in a rendering courtesy of a tipster. The latest building permits indicate the project measures 28,708 square feet, which means its residential units should average 1,063 square feet apiece. The apartments, rentals, will boast layouts with two- to three-bedroom configurations. The Brooklyn-based Loketch Group is the developer and Williamsburg-based Ellipses Design is behind the design. Occupancy is expected in early 2017.
A few weeks ago, YIMBY reported on plans for a five-story apartment building at 2353 Dean Street in Ocean Hill, the slice of Brooklyn bordered by Crown Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York, and Brownsville. Now, we have a rendering of the project, courtesy of architect Ibrahim Greenbridge.
