In the spring of 2015, Thor Equities entered into contract for the development site at 176 Bedford Avenue, located on the corner of North 7th Street in North Williamsburg. The developer has since closed on the property for $30 million. The developer plans to build a two-story, 14,500-square-foot commercial-retail building.
Brooklyn-based Cayuga Capital Management has filed applications for a four-story, 5,040-square-foot mixed-use commercial building at 115 Broadway, in South Williamsburg. The site is a 1,340-square-foot, wedge-shaped vacant lot bound by South 6th Street and Bedford Avenue. Retail space will occupy the cellar level, the ground floor, and an upper mezzanine level. Office space will take up the second floor, followed by community facility space on the third and fourth floors. Together, the retail and office space will amount to 3,785 square feet while the community facility space will total 1,168 square feet. Midtown South-based DXA Studio is the architect of record. The Marcy Avenue stop on the J and M trains is five blocks away.
Brooklyn-based property owner Joseph Caputo has filed applications for a four-story, 12,731-square-foot mixed-use commercial building at 19 Maspeth Avenue, located on a vacant, wedged-shape lot bound by Woodpoint Road, Maspeth Avenue, and Conselyea Street in northern Williamsburg. The 46-foot-tall project will feature retail space on the ground floor, office space on the second, and community facility space on the third and fourth floors. The retail and office spaces will total 5,437 square feet while the community facility spaces will total 4,327 square feet. Frank Petruso’s Great Neck, N.Y.-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The Graham Avenue stop on the L train is two blocks away.
Brooklyn-based Southside Units has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 99 North 4th Street in North Williamsburg, three blocks from the East River. The project will measure 6,500 square feet and its residential units should average 813 square feet apiece. The structure will stand at 70 feet high but look like a seven-story building, thanks to three mezzanine levels that will contain additional residential space. Diego B. Aguilera’s Rego Park-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 24-foot-wide, 2,408-square-foot site is currently occupied by a three-story townhouse. Demolition permits have not been filed.
Not far from the L train sits a quiet Williamsburg corner where something has risen above all of its neighbors. It is 190 South 1st Street. The last time YIMBY checked on the project, it was just a black and white rendering. Now, it has topped out and is actually nearing completion. We recently were invited inside, and we also have the latest renderings of the project.
