Seven-Story, 95-Unit Mixed-Use Project Planned At 125 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg

Over a year ago, YIMBY reported on filings for a seven-story, 75-unit residential and retail development at 84 North 3rd Street, in northern Williamsburg. Now, Hudson Companies has landed $47 million in loans to acquire the land and to fund their development, which spans 84-94 North 3rd Street and 112-125 Metropolitan Avenue. The project will actually be two buildings totaling 95 residential units, with 20% set aside for affordable housing, according to Commercial Observer. One building will be six stories and the other seven, and 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail is expected. Marvel Architects is designing, and ABS Partners Real Estate owns a 50% stake in the property. Completion is slated for late 2017.

990-Foot-Long S.S. United States Could Be Turned Into Office & Entertainment Complex, Red Hook

John Quadrozzi Jr., owner of the Gowanus Bay Terminal, at 699 Columbia Street in Red Hook, is proposing to sail the deteriorating 990-foot-long S.S. United States to his dock and transform the ship into office space and entertainment facilities, according to The Brooklyn Paper. The vessel has 12 decks and roughly 500,000 square feet of usable floor space, and would be self-sustaining, energy-wise, using solar, wind, and waste energy. The project could cost as much as $200 million, and Quadrozzi is currently in discussions with developers, investors, and government officials.
