Last year, YIMBY gave you the first look at the residential expansion planned for 207 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg. Now we’ve got new renderings of the project, which is under construction at the corner of Roebling Street.

An anonymous Queens-based LLC has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 191 Withers Street, in northern Williamsburg.

Woody Chen’s Elmhurst-based Infocus Design & Planning is the architect of record. The 41-foot-wide, 2,418-square-foot property is occupied by a two-story house. Demolition permits have not been filed.
