A single-story brick building that was once a church has been demolished at 142 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg, and this four-story development with dark brick will rise in its place. YIMBY noticed the rendering on the fence at the empty lot, which sits mid-block on Manhattan between Meserole Street and Montrose Avenue.
Last summer, permits were filed for a four-story, 10-unit building at 434 Manhattan Avenue between Bayard Street and the BQE, in the borderlands between Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Now YIMBY has a look at the schematic for the development, which was posted on the fence.
The low-rise brick structures housing the Brooklyn Bowl and Brooklyn Brewery — spanning 61-71 Wythe Avenue, in northern Williamsburg — are on the market, reports Crain’s Business. Although leases don’t expire for a couple more years, if community space is included, up to 170,000 square-feet of mixed-use commercial and community-use development rights could be utilized. The assemblage is being valued at over $50 million.
Church conversions in New York City always seem to be an architectural roll of the dice, but YIMBY noticed this fairly attractive rendering on the fence at 81 Ten Eyck Street in East Williamsburg, where the former St Mary’s Catholic Church is being transformed into apartments.
Brownstoner stopped by recently at 247 Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg, where a multi-level structure is being converted and expanded to accommodate its new retail tenant, Apple. Renderings of the project were revealed by YIMBY earlier this year, and opening is expected this year.
