Developer Moishe Loketch of the Loketch Group got a little press earlier this year when he talked to the Awl’s Brendan O’Connor about his two-year-old condo project in Canarsie, Loft 87. Now YIMBY has the first look at a very different sort of Loketch Group project—a three-story expansion of a low-slung storefront with apartments at 207 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg.
Last year, YIMBY revealed renderings of The Iconic Group’s planned five-story, seven-unit mixed-use building at 170 South 1st Street, in western Williamsburg. Now Brownstoner reports the project is under construction, with steel framing above street level. The building will measure 16,183 square feet, and includes 4,130 and 435 square feet of warehouse/retail and community space, respectively. ND Architecture & Design is the architect of record, and completion is likely expected in 2016.
Applications were first filed in early 2014 for a six-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at the vacant lot of 369 Berry Street, in western Williamsburg, and now Brownstoner has spotted renderings of the project. The building will total 13,490 square feet, which includes 2,383 and 2,627 square feet of commercial and community space, respectively; apartments will average 850 square feet. M&B Monroe Inc. is developing, while Charles Mallea is the architect of record.
Last month, YIMBY brought you the first renderings for the future Hoxton Hotel, coming to 97 Wythe Avenue, just a few blocks in from the Williamsburg waterfront. Now, we have an update on another nearby hotel project, and significant progress is being made on 55 Wythe Avenue, aka the William Vale Hotel.
Most of Williamsburg’s larger buildings have grown on the Northside, where waterfront parcels were deliberately upzoned. But every once in a while, a developer manages to snag a fairly large parcel like 329 Broadway, on the corner of Rodney Street beneath the elevated J/M/Z tracks.
