1:00 pm on March 3, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based Urban View Realty has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 399 Adelphi Street, in southern Fort Greene, located five blocks from the Lafayette Avenue stop on the C train. The structure will measure just 5,000 square feet and all of its residential units will have full-floor configurations. The fourth-floor penthouse units will feature, in addition, a fifth-floor penthouse level. The apartments will most likely be condominiums. Woody Chen’s Elmhurst-based Infocus Design & Planning is the architect of record. The project would rise on a 25-foot-wide vacant lot, although the plot of land is associated with the building next door and must first be subdivided.
