Four-Story, 16-Unit Residential Building Filed at 3016 Brighton 5th Street, Brighton Beach

Brooklyn-based Royal Builders Development has filed applications for a four-story, 16-unit residential building at 3016 Brighton 5th Street, in Brighton Beach, located a block from the Brighton Beach stop on the B/Q train. The structure will encompass 13,191 square feet, which means its units should average 824 square feet apiece. Amenities include off-site parking for 11 automobiles and a rooftop recreational space. Considering parking is included, the apartments may be condominiums. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 60-foot-wide assemblage consists of two two-story houses. Demolition permits were filed earlier this month to knock them down.

City Moving Forward Without State on Two-Tower, 304-Unit Mixed-Income Residential Project at Pier 6, Brooklyn Heights

In March, the Empire State Development Corporation (ESD) withheld approval for the two-tower, mixed-income residential project at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, located in southern Brooklyn Heights. The city selected RAL Development and Oliver Realty Group, with ODA New York as the architect, to develop a 29-story, 192-unit condominium building and a 14-story, 147-unit mixed-use rental building with 117 below-market-rate apartments, a preschool, a 930-square-foot retail component, and 1,500-square-foot community facility. Now, the ESD is withdrawing from the project, entirely over concerns regarding ties between the developers and the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio, Politico New York reports.
