Last year, Brownstoner spotted a space-age construction rendering for a six-story residential building at 785 Dekalb Avenue between Tompkins and Throop Avenues in Bed-Stuy. While that design—which featured a slanted porthole—didn’t make the cut, construction is finally nearing the finish line.
Susan Miller, operating as the Miller Family Trust, has filed applications for a five-story, three-unit residential building at 371 13th Street, in southern Park Slope, four blocks south of the 7th Avenue stop on the F and G trains. The building will measure 4,984 square feet, which means units will average a spacious 1,661 square feet each. Marc Albertin’s Financial District-based Plainspace Inc. is the applicant of record, and demolition began on the existing wood-frame house over the summer.
Over a year ago, the three-story office building at 570 Fulton Street, in Fort Greene, hit the market as a development site, and now Slate Property Group, Meadow Partners and a third unknown developer have acquired the property for $23 million. The site has 72,000 square feet of development rights, or 86,000 square feet with the inclusionary housing bonus, and condominiums are likely planned. The developers are also working on a 16-story, 126-unit mixed-use building at 1 Flatbush Avenue, located adjacent to 570 Fulton.
In the beginning of August, YIMBY posted a construction update on the 52-story, 586-unit mixed-use building at 250 Ashland Place, in Fort Greene/DoBro, and now the building appears to have topped-out, per the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Cladding installation is moving quickly, and windows are also now up to the 20th floor. The ground floor will contain 10,800 square feet of retail, as well as 8,000 square feet of office space. Gotham Organization is developing while FXFOWLE Architects is designing, and completion is expected in 2016.
Jamaica-based Francis Lewis House Corporation has filed applications to expand the single-story, 20-foot-wide rowhouse at 588 Schenectady Avenue, in northern East Flatbush, into a four-story, eight-unit residential building. Located right across from the Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, the expanded building will measure 4,792 square feet in total, which means units will average a rental-sized 600 square feet each. Bakhtiar Shamloo’s Kew Gardens-based Tabriz Group Design is the applicant of record.
