Clinton Hill

In southern Clinton Hill, a five-story, 10-unit residential building is currently in the works at 538 Washington Avenue, and now renderings have surfaced of the project, per Curbed. The building has been named Aperture 538, and the structure topped out late last year. Sam Boymelgreen is developing. Luca Andrisani is designing, and Tamar Kisilevitz is serving as the architect of record. A few days ago, applications to sub-divide the units were filed with the DOB, meaning that a sales launch is likely happening soon. The Washington Avenue C train stop is located a few steps away.

This past spring, units hit the market at Barrett Design & Development’s conversion of the Broken Angel house at 4 Downing Street, and now the building is nearing completion. Per Brownstoner, the developer is also building a the three-story, two-unit townhouse at 8 Downing Street, and façade and window installation are currently underway. The interiors are still being built out, but completion can be expected in the next few months.

In the summer of 2014, YIMBY reported on filings for a five-story, 81-unit residential building at 10 Lexington Avenue and 2 Downing Street, in the southern half of Clinton Hill, and now the building is under construction, currently two stories above street level. According to Brownstoner, the building will measure 55,341 square feet in total, and units will average a rental-sized 683 square feet. Joseph Brunner, of Fulton Street Holdings, is developing, and Zambrano Architectural Design is the architect. Completion is expected in the end of 2016.

Brookland Capital has purchased the 29,250 square-foot church at 259 Washington Avenue, in Clinton Hill, for $8.8 million, according to Commercial Observer. The site has 2,650 square feet of air rights, and plans call for church to be converted into condominiums, featuring a small rear expansion and exterior restorations. DNAinfo reports the property is landmarked, so changes to the building will have to be approved by the LPC. The G train stop at Washington Avenue is located two blocks to the south.
