As development in Brooklyn pushes further east, apartment buildings are slowly filling the sleepy triangular piece of Bed Stuy known as Ocean Hill, near Broadway Junction in East New York. A tipster has sent YIMBY a rendering for one such development, a 32-unit building at 1325 Herkimer Street.
The Bedford-Nostrand G train stop is ground zero for new construction in Bed Stuy, and yesterday, plans were filed to construct a six-story building a few blocks to the east at 253 Tompkins Avenue, across the street from Herbert Von King Park.
Brookland Capital has filed applications for a six-story, 14-unit residential building at the vacant lot of 227 Clarkson Avenue, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a two minute walk from the Winthrop stop serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. The building will measure roughly 10,000 square feet, which translates to units averaging 715 square feet; surprisingly, they will be condominiums. The site was acquired for $1.35 million earlier this year, according to DNAinfo, and Feingold & Gregory Architects is designing.
Helm Equities Cooper LLC has placed their single-story retail building at 85-95 Cooper Street, in Inwood, on the market for $4.25 million, according to DNAinfo. GFI Realty Services is marketing the site, which boasts 13,132 square feet of development potential, the equivalent of a seven-story building on the property.
Extreme Homes Group has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at the vacant lot at 259 Kosciuszko Street, in northern Bedford-Stuyvesant, two blocks east of the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues stop on the G line. The building will measure 3,615 square feet, which works out to units of roughly 900 square feet. Gerald Caliendo is designing.
