CW Realty recently dropped $20 million to acquire a controversial parcel in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn, where previous owners failed to win approvals for development. Located at 251 Front Street, also referred to as 68 Gold Street, the site currently supports a large parking lot that would be redeveloped to support a five-story building with 59 rental units.
Development partners Newmark Knight Frank and Elms Realty Corp will soon debut a five-building mixed-use complex in Long Island City, Queens. Known as Urban Yard, the complex will eventually comprise 400,000 square feet of office and retail components in addition to a large parking garage.

Most development on the Northside of Williamsburg consists of glassy new buildings, but every once in a while, someone converts a pre-war structure instead of tearing it down. Today, YIMBY has a look at 119-123 Kent Avenue, where three century-old townhouses will expand and get a new, brick facade that stretches across all of them.
The Bushwick residential boom is quickly spreading north into Ridgewood, and today YIMBY has a look at a small project under construction just over the border between Brooklyn and Queens, at 1728 Himrod Street.
