Pinnacle Real Estate Ventures has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at the vacant lot at 341 Fenimore Street, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The project will measure 8,325 square feet, which translates into an average unit size of 1,190 square feet.

A rough rendering has appeared on-site, and the project is slated for completion in Fall 2016. The site’s former two-story building was demolished late last year.
Property owner Joel Schwartz, of South Side Units LLC, has filed applications for a five-story, eight-unit residential building at the vacant lot at 22 Melrose Street, a stone’s-throw away from the Myrtle Avenue subway stop in northern Bushwick. The building will measure 5,885 square feet, which works out to an average rental-size unit of 735 square feet. KMP Design & Engineering is the applicant of record.

In October 2014, a 10-story, eight-unit mixed-use building was rising at 179 Suffolk Street, at East Houston Street on the Lower East Side.
