Greenpoint‘s latest affordable housing property will soon take shape at 35 Commercial Street following the acquisition of $170 million in construction financing. The forthcoming property is located within the Greenpoint Landing mega-complex in north Brooklyn and will eventually introduce 374 affordable housing units to the neighborhood.
Work is shaping up on the white terracotta façade of 58 Saint Marks Place, a 12-story residential building in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Developed by Avdoo & Partners and designed by INC Architecture & Design with Isaac & Stern as the architect of record, the long rectangular structure will yield 100 units and is bound by 4th Avenue to the east, St. Mark’s Place to the north, and Willie McDonald Way to the south.
Construction is approaching topping out on 542 Atlantic Avenue, an 11-story residential building in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Alternately addressed as 533 Pacific Street, the 90,000-square-foot project is designed by Issac & Stern Architects and developed by Sterling Town Equities, which purchased the property in 2019 for $28 million, and will yield 43 condominiums and two four-story townhouses. The development is rising on a through-block parcel between Third Avenue to the west, Pacific Street to the south, and Fourth Avenue to the east, and is a short walk from Barclays Center and Downtown Brooklyn.
Exterior work is nearing completion on Plank Road, a 27-story residential building at 662 Pacific Street in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Formerly addressed as 37 Sixth Avenue, 495 Dean Street, and 664 Pacific Street, the 209,451-square-foot structure is designed by Marvel Architects and developed by The Brodsky Organization and will bring 312 rental units to the Pacific Park complex. The rectangular parcel is located between Dean and Pacific Streets.
Curtain wall work is getting close to completion on 18 Sixth Avenue, a 49-story residential skyscraper in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by The Brodsky Organization and Greenland Forest City Partners, the 532-foot-tall, 740,000-square-foot building will yield 858 rental units, of which 258 will be dedicated to affordable housing. The project towers over the adjacent Barclays Center and is the tallest building in the 22-acre Pacific Park master plan. The rest of the development will be constructed atop the currently exposed train tracks to the east that run parallel with Atlantic Avenue. Lemay + Escobar is designing the interiors, including the main lobby, the apartments, the corridors, the outdoor terrace and the amenities.
