New Details for Seven-Story, 90-Unit Mixed-Income Residential Project Underway at 1552 Bergen Street, Crown Heights

Back in September of 2014, news broke that a seven-story, 90-unit mixed-income residential project was being planned at 1552 Bergen Street, in eastern Crown Heights, located six blocks south of the Utica Avenue stop on the A/C trains. The 68,711-square-foot building, dubbed Concern Bergen, has been quietly rising and has since topped out. Now, applications for the apartments – a mix of affordable, supportive, and market-rate units – are available, according to DNAinfo. Of the 90 apartments, 55 will be assigned to adults with psychiatric disabilities and will average 480 square feet apiece. The next 33 apartments, comprised of one- and two-bedrooms, will rent at below-market rates through the housing lottery, while the remaining two apartments will be market-rate rentals. The 35 non-supportive units should average 877 square feet apiece. Amenities include a fitness center, a computer lab, multiple lounges, a laundry, private storage space, storage for 21 bikes, a seven-car garage on the ground floor, and an outdoor terrace. Long Island-based Concern for Independent Living is the developer, while Dattner Architects is behind the design. Occupancy is expected in September.

Reveal for Seven-Story, 45-Unit Mixed-Use Project Planned at 150 Rivington Street, Lower East Side

Earlier this year, applications were filed to demolish the former Streit’s Matzo Factory to the ground floor. The developer wants to build a seven-story, 45-unit mixed-use building with 10,219 square feet of ground and cellar-level retail space from the remnants, at 148-154 Rivington Street, on the Lower East Side. Renderings of the project have now been revealed by the New York Times, which can also report that apartments will be condominiums with one- and two-bedroom configurations. The amount of retail space has also been increased to 13,000 square feet. Cogswell Lee Development (the development arm of Cogswell Realty) is the developer, and GLUCK+ is behind the design. Demolition of the factory is expected to commence in the coming weeks.

Four-Story, 10-Unit Residential Project Planned at 691 Chauncey Street, Bushwick

Shlomo Sinay, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 691 Chauncey Street, in eastern Bushwick, located two blocks from the Chauncey Street stop on the J/Z trains. The structure will measure 9,412 square feet, and its residential units should average 740 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. There will be two or three apartments per floor, except two of the fourth-floor units will be relatively larger because they will feature space on an upper mezzanine level. The building will be topped by a roof terrace. Hudson Valley-based Kenneth Thomas is the applicant of record. Demolition permits were filed in January for the site’s two-story townhouse.
