The eastern edge of Bushwick, where the L train swings above ground next to cemeteries, serves as the borderlands of gentrified Brooklyn, just before Broadway Junction and East New York. But that hasn’t stopped condo developers from flocking there, looking to take advantage of relatively cheap property. And today YIMBY has the first look at a four-story condo project under construction at 1290-1300 Decatur Street, between Knickerbocker and Wilson Avenue.
Jack David has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 1098 Madison Street, in central Bushwick, four blocks away from the Gates Avenue stop on the J and Z lines. Residential units will measure an average 680 square feet, putting the building within the realm of typical rental construction. Suresh Manchanda’s L&C Associates applied for the permit, and an existing single-family townhouse must first be demolished.
Meshulam Hass has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 26 Goodwin Place, in central Bushwick, three blocks north of the Gates Avenue subway stop on the J and Z lines. Units in the 5,010 square-foot building will average 715 square feet in size, and Manish Savani is the architect of record. A dilapidated two-story structure must first be demolished.
Amit Stern, head of LHUM Investments, has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building measuring 5,490 square feet at the vacant lot of 71 Cooper Street, in southern Bushwick. Located two blocks from the J and Z train’s Chauncey Street subway stop, units will average just 685 square feet, indicative of rentals. Woody Chen’s InFocus is the applicant of record.
S Land Development has filed applications for a five-story, eight-unit residential building at 1255 Decatur Street, in eastern Bushwick, three short blocks away from the Wilson Avenue stop on the L line. Units will average 665 square feet apiece, indicating that the 5,310 square-foot building will be probably be a rental. The existing recessed two-story, two-unit structure passed pre-demolition inspection in 2014, and Charles Diehl is the architect of record.
