In June 2015, then-Brooklyn Bridge Park President Regina Myer revealed renderings for the last two residential towers set to rise in the park, on Pier 6. Now, ODA Architecture, which is designing them, has filed plans for the pair of developments at 15 and 50 Bridge Park Drive.
Not far from the L train sits a quiet Williamsburg corner where something has risen above all of its neighbors. It is 190 South 1st Street. The last time YIMBY checked on the project, it was just a black and white rendering. Now, it has topped out and is actually nearing completion. We recently were invited inside, and we also have the latest renderings of the project.
Since YIMBY’s previous update in May, the 28-story, 150-unit mixed-use tower under development at 436 Albee Square, in Downtown Brooklyn, has topped out and begun façade installation. The latest photo of the project was posted to the YIMBY Forums by construction photographer Tectonic. The most recent building permits indicate the structure measures 155,100 square feet and stands 310 feet above street level. There will be 23,740 square feet of retail space across the cellar through third floors. The residential units above should average 793 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Yoel Schwimmer is the developer and ODA New York is behind the design. Completion is expected in 2017.
South Williamsburg-based developer Yoel Schwimmer has filed plans for a five-story hotel at 1548 Bedford Avenue.
Renderings have finally been revealed for All Year Management’s mixed-use development at 123 Melrose Street and 54 Noll Street, in western Bushwick, the site of the former Rheingold Brewery complex. The multi-block project, bound by Melrose and Stanwix streets and Evergreen and Flushing avenues, will feature 800 to 900 rental apartments and tens of thousands of square feet of retail space, according to Curbed NY. It’s being dubbed Bushwick II and will encompass around one million square feet. Roughly 20 percent of the apartments will rent a below-market rates through the affordable housing lottery. The developer acquired the plot for a combined $140.7 million over the past year. ODA New York is responsible for the design. New building permits have yet to reflect the latest plans. Two sprawling, single-story warehouse structures will have to be demolished.
