Six Four-Story, Three-Unit Townhouses Coming to 113-123 Clifton Place, Bedford-Stuyvesant

4:00 pm on June 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based CS Real Estate Group has filed applications for three four-story, six-unit residential buildings at 113-123 Clifton Place, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant, located around the block from the Classon Avenue stop on the G train. The development will likely read like townhouses, as each building will actually be split into two 20-foot-wide sections, with three units in each “townhouse.” All of the townhouse sections will have similar configurations, with one unit located on the ground and cellar levels, another unit located on the second floor and part of the third floor, and the final unit hosted on the rest of the third floor and the entire fourth floor. The residential space varies between each building, but an average unit across the whole development should cover 1,027 square feet, indicative of condominiums. Karl Fischer is the architect of record. The 120-foot-wide lot is currently occupied by a two-story commercial building and a low-slung warehouse. Permits were field last year to demolish the structures.

Now, the team has submitted preliminary applications (called CPS-1 documents, which are associated with marketing) with the state Attorney General’s office for a condominium project, according to The Real Deal. Filings with the Buildings Department describe a 96,166-square-foot building in the works. It will have 4,231 square feet of retail space on the ground and cellar levels, and its residential units should average 972 square feet apiece. Edgar L. Rawlings’ Lower East Side-based Rawlings Architects is the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed for the existing tenements back in 2014.
