Construction is complete on 540 Waverly Avenue, a nine-story residential building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects and developed by The Daten Group, the 117,000-square-foot structure yields 135 rental units spread across 91,000 square feet with 41 residences reserved for affordable housing, 52 parking spaces, and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The property is located at the corner of Waverly and Atlantic Avenues.
Construction had recently topped out on the reinforced concrete superstructure at the time of our last update in July of 2021, and the building stood covered in scaffolding as framing work progressed for the window grid. Recent photos show the exterior almost fully complete, with a façade composed of a mix of brown brick and dark brown metal paneling surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows. Several setbacks on the upper levels are lined with metal railings for outdoor terraces. Only a few finishing touches remain, including on the canopy over the main entrance along Waverly Avenue.

Its very nice but the side that faces Atlantic really should be taller.
That’s true, but still a great filler nonetheless
Despite a couple of quirky details, its a really good design.
A very attractive design all around.
All that is fine
The most important info what are unit RENT
When can we start applying for a unit in this building. I really need an affordable apartment in Brooklyn. I live on Franklin Ave. I need a building with an elevator. I don’t want to wait until I am too old to apply for a descent place to live with an elevator. I am 64 now. Send an application to me or email me to let me know how I can apply for a one or two bedrooms apartment. That will be perfect for me. Thank you!
that area is not that bad, and the area is rapidly changing, Bergen bagel around the corner on fulton street my favored, hopefully there will be good amount of lowincome units, we already know a large amount of units will be high income, but lets see

I am a retired law enforcement officer and I am looking for affordable housing.
I do not want to make an appointment for viewing, I just want to know the monthly rent for a one bedroom apartment, or a studio.
