The site of a recent large-scale fire on Williamsburg’s northern waterfront — the burned-down warehouse located at 5 North 11th Street — may be on the path for redevelopment, or so the property’s owner hopes. Crain’s Business reports the property — likely valued at $500 million — boasts roughly 600,000 square feet of commercial air rights, and could be rezoned for residential if approved by city council, however earlier prospects to designate the land as park space may foil any redevelopment prospects.
Development has been picking up quickly in the Broadway Triangle, and today we have the first look at another project coming to the Williamsburg neighborhood, at 311-313 Wallabout Street.
While part of the Broadway Triangle is still tied up in a hotly contested debate over rezoning and racial politics, developers are quickly moving to build on the remaining lots in the former industrial ‘hood at Williamsburg’s southern edge, like 221 Middleton Street, where plans were just filed to construct a six-story apartment building.
31 Ainslie Street: Meyer Chetrit has filed applications at 29-37 Ainslie Street, in Williamsburg, for a five-story, 14-unit residential building. The building is associated with plans for a 14-story mixed-use building with residential units, hotel rooms and retail space at 500 Metropolitan Avenue. Kutnicki Bernstein is designing, and an old single-story warehouse was demolished in 2013.
