Construction is complete on 747 Bedford Avenue, a six-story mixed-use building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Designed by De-Jan Lu Architect and developed by Abraham Lichtenstein, the 70-foot-tall structure spans 48,475 square feet and yields 22 condominium units with an average scope of 1,117 square feet. The development also contains 5,316 square feet of commercial space, a cellar level, and 12 enclosed parking spaces. The property is located between Flushing and Park Avenues.
The building stands fully finished with all scaffolding and construction barriers removed. The base of the structure is enclosed in white paneling surrounding a grid of tall floor-to-ceiling windows with rounded corners for the double-height lobby. Following the third-story setback, the façade transitions to earth-toned brick with punched windows and wood paneling accents. The main elevation features three stacks of balconies, providing the neighborhood’s Jewish population with space for sukkahs, as well as terrace space on either end of the sixth story. A bulkhead with light gray cladding caps the structure.

The property was formerly occupied by a series of low-rise commercial structures, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before their demolition.

FYI only the top balconies are suitable for sukkas. They have to have sky above.
