344 Willoughby Avenue

Four-Story, Three-Duplex-Unit Residential Project Coming To 344 Willoughby Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant

Brooklyn-based property owner Joel Jacob, doing business through an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, three-unit residential building at 344 Willoughby Avenue, in northwestern Bedford-Stuyvesant, located in a neighborhood that’s predominantly populated by Hasidic Jews. The structure will encompass 6,031 square feet and all the three units will be duplexes. One duplex will span the ground and second floors, while two duplexes will share the third and fourth floors. That works out to family-sized units averaging a very spacious 2,010 square feet apiece. Maspeth-based Genaro R. Urueta is the applicant of record. The 34-foot-wide plot is currently occupied by two two-story townhouses and demolition permits have not yet been filed.


846 Quincy Street

Four-Story, Seven-Unit Residential Building Filed At 846 Quincy Street, Bedford-Stuyvesant

Queens-based property owner Idan Cohen has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 846 Quincy Street, in eastern Bedford-Stuyvesant, located two blocks from the Gates Avenue stop on the J and Z trains. The structure will measure 5,000 square feet and there will be two apartments per floor on the ground through third levels. The project’s residential unit on the fourth floor will feature additional space in a fifth-floor penthouse. The residential space listed on permits is misleading, with only 3,000 square feet allotted for the seven units, which would work out to an average size of about 429 square feet. Still, apartments here will probably be rentals. Woody Chen’s Infocus Design & Planning is the architect of record, and the 25-foot-wide lot has been long vacant.



526 Kosciuszko Street

New Four-Unit Building, Expansion Of Three-Story Townhouse At 526-528 Kosciuszko Street, Bedford-Stuyvesant

Haim Levy’s Jamaica-based Phoenix Home Realty Inc. has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 526 Kosciuszko Street, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, located two blocks west of the Kosciuszko Street stop on the J train. The new 4,520 square-foot building will rise on a vacant 20-foot-wide lot and will boast full-floor apartment units averaging 1,087 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The same developer is also expanding the adjacent three-story townhouse at 528 Kosciuszko Street. That building will be expanded to 3,692 square feet (a growth of 374 square feet) and will contain three full-floor residential units. Apartments at 528 Kosciuszko will average 1,231 square feet apiece. Queens-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record.


524 Halsey Street

Three-Story Garage At 524 Halsey Street To Be Expanded Into Five-Story, 36-Unit Residential Building, Bedford-Stuyvesant

Brooklyn-based Brookland Capital, headed by Boaz Gilad, has filed applications to expand the three-story parking garage at 524-540 Halsey Street, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, into a five-story, 36-unit residential building. According to DNAinfo, the developer acquired the property for $8.2 million in December. The 31,434 square-foot property will be expanded into 38,879 square feet of residential space, which means units will average a relatively spacious 1,080 square feet apiece. Per the Schedule A, there will be seven townhouse-style triplex apartments within the first three floors. Upper West Side-based Feingold & Gregory Architects is the architect of record. The project is located within the Bedford Stuyvesant/Expanded Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, which means the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approve it.
