Following up on yesterday’s rundown of low-rise residential construction in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, YIMBY now takes a look at several more sites further inland in the neighborhood. The following five properties are all located east of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in close proximity of the Lorimer Street subway station, which is served by the L train.
Construction is wrapping up on the first phase of Williamsburg Wharf, a 3.75-acre mixed-use development on the South Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn. Developed by Naftali Group and Access Industries and designed by Brandon Haw Architecture and Hill West Architects, the two-phase masterplan will yield five 22-story residential towers and nearly 1 million square feet of residential, commercial, and retail space. The entire project will yield a total of 950 condominium and rental units and will include a public esplanade stretching 525 feet along the East River. The mixed-use development is bounded by South 10th Street to the north, Division Avenue to the south, Kent Avenue to the east, and Wallabout Channel to the west.
Amid the large-scale projects rising along the Williamsburg, Brooklyn waterfront are a host of smaller residential developments continuously springing up across the vibrant neighborhood. YIMBY captured the progress on six such buildings, all under ten stories, beginning with sites close to the East River and moving inland.
Construction is progressing on 181 North 6th Street, a four-story residential building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The single-family structure has a total buildable square footage of 2,300 square feet and will include a cellar level. The property, which was purchased by Tom Michaeli from Berish Wagschal two years ago for $1.185 million, is located on a narrow interior lot by the corner of North 6th Street and Driggs Avenue. It’s unclear who the architect is.
Exterior work is nearing completion on 71 South 4th Street, a four-story residential building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Infocus Design and Planning and developed by Mike Reznik of WH Capital, the 55-foot-tall structure will span 4,324 square feet and yield six rental units with an average scope of 720 square feet. The project will also include a cellar level and a 35-foot-long rear yard. The property is located between Berry Street and Wythe Avenue.
