Earlier this month, non-profit Metro World Child and their partner Moshe Braver filed applications for a 180-unit building at 338 Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick. Now Braver is planning another residential development a few blocks east at 405 Evergreen Avenue, on the corner of Linden Street.
The five-story, 70-foot-tall building will fill a long-vacant parking lot and provide valuable housing in a fast-growing part of Bushwick, slightly north of the Gates Avenue stop on the elevated J and Z trains. It will hold 68 apartments and 47,265 square feet of residential space, and the average apartment will measure a rental-sized 695 square feet.
The first four floors will host 14 units each, topped by 12 units on the fifth floor, including one with a private terrace.
An 11,290-square-foot community facility will also take up part of the first and second floors. Metro World Child has owned the property since the mid-90s, and we expect they will use the community space for their missionary or social work. They also own all of the adjacent properties on Linden Street and Evergreen Avenue, which explains how Braver has managed to cobble together a 21,500-square-foot development site.
Parking will include three off-street spaces and a subterranean garage with room for 31 cars—just enough to satisfy zoning code requirements.
Brooklyn’s favorite architect, Karl Fischer, applied for the permit.
Braver’s Williamsburg-based LLC also owns 338 Evergreen, a block-long site with a series of aging hospital buildings dating back to the 1910s. His firm is renovating the largest of those buildings, a six-story nursing home, into a headquarters for the Christian non-profit organization.
