In February, the 32-story, 363-unit mixed-use modular tower under development at 461 Dean Street, in Prospect Heights, had reached its 25th story. Now, the 348,269-square-foot building has finally topped out, with the last modular unit installed earlier this week, Curbed NY reported. The project was the first of 15 towers to begin constructed as part of the Pacific Park mega-development. There will be 32,678 square feet of commercial space split between retail on the ground floor and storage space for the Barclays Center on floors two through six. The rental apartments should average 660 square feet apiece, and 181 of them will rent at below-market rates through the housing lottery. Amenities include a bike storage room, private residential storage, laundry facilities, a fitness center, an entertainment room/lounge, a children’s play room, and a common outdoor terrace on the 20th floor. Forest City Ratner Companies (a branch of Forest City Realty Trust) is developing, with SHoP Architects behind the design. Completion is expected this fall.

Joseph Cohen, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 873 Pacific Street, in Prospect Heights, located two blocks from the Clinton-Washington Avenues stop on the C train. The structure will encompass 14,403 square feet, and its residential units should average 1,241 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. Amenities listed in the Schedule A include private storage space, a two-car parking garage on the ground floor, and a 1,146-square-foot recreational space on the building’s penthouse level. Anthony Morena’s Chelsea-based Mortar ARCH + DEV is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in March to remove the 50-foot-wide site’s existing three-story townhouse.

Last month, YIMBY revealed new renderings of the 23-story, 303-unit mixed-use building planned at 38 Sixth Avenue, in Prospect Heights, located within the 15-building Pacific Park mega-development. Curbed NY now has an update on the entire project, but more specifically photos revealing that this portion of Pacific Park is finally rising. The structure is currently two stories above street level. It will eventually encompass 341,595 square feet and will feature 8,700 square feet of retail space and medical offices on the ground floor. The rental apartments, averaging 957 square feet apiece, will all rent at below market-rates. There will be a mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. A partnership between Forest City Ratner and Greenland USA is developing, and SHoP Architects is behind the design. Completion is expected in late 2017.

674 Atlantic Avenue

Pacific Park Developers Consider Building Office Space At 674 Atlantic Avenue, Prospect Heights

11:00 am on February 29, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Earlier this month, the developers behind the Pacific Park mega-development in Prospect Park – a partnership between Greenland Holdings and Forest City Ratner – proposed the idea of transferring 1.1 million square feet of development rights to 590 Atlantic Avenue in order to build a massive office tower. Now, another site is under consideration for an office development, according to DNAinfo. It’s the site at the southwestern corner of Atlantic and Sixth avenues – 674 Atlantic Avenue, or 2 Sixth Avenue. A 764-unit, mixed-income residential building, with a mix of rentals and condos along with retail space, has long been approved for the site. Now the developers are seeking to transfer commercial development rights to the location so a second office building could be built. The Empire State Development Corporation would have to approve the transfer of air rights. The change in plans also requires an environmental study, and the affordable residential units that were expected at the site would be built elsewhere.
