Four-Story, 10-Unit Residential Building Planned at 1141 Lafayette Avenue, Bushwick

Tomer Erlich, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 1141 Lafayette Avenue, in central Bushwick, located two blocks from the Kosciuszko Street stop on the J train. The structure will measure 11,440 square feet, which means its residential units should average 817 square feet apiece, indicative of relatively large rental apartments (for new construction in the area). Robert Bianchini’s Forest Hills-based ARC Architecture + Design Studio is the architect. The 37-foot-wide assemblage consists of a vacant lot (1141 Lafayette) and a four-story townhouse (1143 Lafayette), which received demolition permits earlier this month.

New Details for Seven-Story, 90-Unit Mixed-Income Residential Project Underway at 1552 Bergen Street, Crown Heights

Back in September of 2014, news broke that a seven-story, 90-unit mixed-income residential project was being planned at 1552 Bergen Street, in eastern Crown Heights, located six blocks south of the Utica Avenue stop on the A/C trains. The 68,711-square-foot building, dubbed Concern Bergen, has been quietly rising and has since topped out. Now, applications for the apartments – a mix of affordable, supportive, and market-rate units – are available, according to DNAinfo. Of the 90 apartments, 55 will be assigned to adults with psychiatric disabilities and will average 480 square feet apiece. The next 33 apartments, comprised of one- and two-bedrooms, will rent at below-market rates through the housing lottery, while the remaining two apartments will be market-rate rentals. The 35 non-supportive units should average 877 square feet apiece. Amenities include a fitness center, a computer lab, multiple lounges, a laundry, private storage space, storage for 21 bikes, a seven-car garage on the ground floor, and an outdoor terrace. Long Island-based Concern for Independent Living is the developer, while Dattner Architects is behind the design. Occupancy is expected in September.

Permits Filed: 9701 Third Avenue, Bay Ridge

New construction rarely comes to Bay Ridge, because the zoning is restrictive and development sites in the southern Brooklyn neighborhood are hard to come by. However, one builder managed to snag a site along the neighborhood’s commercial thoroughfare, Third Avenue. New building applications were filed last week for a six-story, mixed-use building at 9701 Third Avenue, on the corner of 97th Street.

Four-Story, 10-Unit Residential Project Planned at 691 Chauncey Street, Bushwick

Shlomo Sinay, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 691 Chauncey Street, in eastern Bushwick, located two blocks from the Chauncey Street stop on the J/Z trains. The structure will measure 9,412 square feet, and its residential units should average 740 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. There will be two or three apartments per floor, except two of the fourth-floor units will be relatively larger because they will feature space on an upper mezzanine level. The building will be topped by a roof terrace. Hudson Valley-based Kenneth Thomas is the applicant of record. Demolition permits were filed in January for the site’s two-story townhouse.

12 Residential Units Planned on Church Property at 482 Grand Avenue, Clinton Hill

The Mount Calvary United Holy Church at 482 Grand Avenue – in southern Clinton Hill, located two blocks from Clinton-Washington Avenues stop on the A/C trains – has filed applications to add two stories of apartments atop their 1,893-square-foot church, and to build a new four-story, eight-unit residential building on the vacant lot at 480 Grand Avenue. There will be four 751 square-foot apartments in the expansion above the church. The ground-up building will measure 5,708 square feet, with units measuring an average 713 square feet apiece. Bahram Tehrani’s Jamaica-based BTE Design Services is the architect of record.
