Today YIMBY has the reveal for the 12-story mixed-use building coming to 20 Spencer Street, formerly known as 18 Spencer Street, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, right on the border with Williamsburg. The site is six blocks away from the Flushing Avenue subway station, serviced by the G trains. The Loketch Group is responsible for the development.
As part of a drastic revamp of Brooklyn’s 924 Myrtle Avenue, today, YIMBY has the reveal for a new brick-centric facade for the Bed-Stuy development, where construction is ongoing.
Construction on the Lower East Side’s first legitimate skyscraper continues apace. When YIMBY last looked at 252 South Street, i.e. One Manhattan Square, the superstructure had reached its 80th floor, with topping-out officially occurring last September. Now, only a dozen floors of cladding remain before its exterior is complete. Extell Development is responsible for development, with Lendlease responsible for construction.
Permits were filed back in July of 2016 for a new hotel at 1548 Bedford Avenue, in Crown Height, Brooklyn. Though construction has not yet started, new renderings by ODA have revealed a daring, low-slung arched building adorned with a dark concrete façade. The hotel is located just two blocks away from the Franklin Avenue subway station, serviced by the 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains. The Botanic Garden subway station is one block further, serviced by the Shuttle trains.
New information has been revealed about 80 Flatbush, in Downtown Brooklyn, by Alloy Development. The release brings new renderings, as well as a construction timeline and design revisions in response to a substantial voluntary review process. The proposal will begin the formal public review through ULURP, i.e. the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, in early to mid-March. Architecture Research Office will be responsible for the design of the school, to be included in the base.
