Developers Propose Zoning Amendments in the Columbia Street Waterfront District for New Residential Building

A recent zoning amendment proposal for 41 Summit Street could result in the development of a new residential property in a quiet corner of Brooklyn known as the Columbia Street Waterfront District. As one of Brooklyn’s smallest neighborhoods, the area has not witnessed any major new developments compared to the surrounding Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and Cobble Hill communities.

96 Degraw Street

Developer Seeks to Build Two Three-Story, Single-Family Townhouses at 96 Degraw Street, Columbia Street Waterfront District

Brooklyn-based development and design firm Barrett Design is seeking to obtain approval from the Department of Buildings to build two three-story, single-family townhouses at 96-98 Degraw Street, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, located 12 blocks from the Bergen Street stop on the F and G trains. Each will measure 3,100 square feet and will contain a two-car parking garage on the ground floor. Both will also sport rooftop terraces. The townhouses will rise on a vacant 35-foot-wide, 3,500-square-foot lot currently being used as a parking lot. The property is currently located within a manufacturing district, which may be the reason the new buildings applications haven’t been approved.


135 Sackett Street

Three Four-Story, Three-Unit Residential Buildings Planned At 135 Sackett Street, Columbia Street Waterfront District

Elizabeth McDonald, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for three four-story, multi-family residential buildings at 135-139 Sackett Street, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, located seven blocks from the Carroll Street stop on the F and G trains. Each of the buildings will contain three residential units and will individually measure between 4,178 and 4,196 square feet. It appears each unit will spread across at least an entire floor, although each building also has a penthouse on the fourth floor. The penthouse space will probably be attached to the third-floor unit. Across the entire development, units should average 1,395 square feet apiece, so condos are definitely in the works. New Jersey-based Schneider Associates is the applicant of record.


163 Columbia Street

Developer Close To Making Deal On Four-Story, Four-Unit Project At 163 Columbia Street

The Carroll Gardens Association is planning to sell the vacant lot at 163 Columbia Street, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, to Avery Hall Investments for an undisclosed amount, DNAinfo reports. The deal, which has been years in the making, must first be approved by the City Council and includes preserving 28 affordable residential units in various buildings on the same street. Avery Hall plans to build a four-story, four-unit project measuring 5,485 square feet. YIMBY reported on the filings late last year, and we also revealed the developer’s planned project next door at 161 Columbia Street. Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record.
