Today, YIMBY has a new look for 83 Humboldt Street, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The building will be shifting away from its original brushed aluminum and wood paneling. The facade will include masonry between floor-to-ceiling windows of various widths, for a seemingly randomized façade pattern. Eight light fixtures on the edge of the building add an unusual flare. Beam Group is responsible for the design.
A rendering has surfaced of the planned six-story, 10-unit residential project at 83 Humboldt Street, in southern Williamsburg. The rendering is courtesy of Brooklyn-based Beam Group, the project’s design architect. The latest building permits indicate the project will measure 7,586 square feet. Its residential units should average 758 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include a 301-square-foot recreation space on the ground floor and a rooftop terrace. Yoel Berkovitz, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, is the developer. Joseph A. Mucciolo’s Wantagh, N.Y.-based architectural firm is the architect of record. The 26-foot-wide, 2,558-square-foot property’s single-story predecessor was demolished in late 2014. The site is five blocks from the Flushing Avenue stop on the J and M trains.
Construction has been completed on the four-story (plus penthouse), 10-unit residential building under development at 434 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg. That’s on the corner with Bayard Street. YIMBY previously revealed schematic drawings of the project when foundation work was underway in the spring of 2015. The latest building permits show the building measures 10,262 square feet. The residential units should average 676 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include laundry facilities and a 302-square-foot recreational area on the ground floor. Borough Park-based Yoel Berkovitz is the developer and Beam Group is the design architect. Edward F. Zevallos Architect is serving as the architect of record. Occupancy can be expected very soon. The Lorimer Street/Metropolitan Avenue stop on the G and L trains is eight blocks away.
