Morris Adjmi-Designed Residential Tower Coming To 550 Clinton Avenue In Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill




Quote:
The proposal would be a dramatic improvement over the site’s current condition. The retail fronting Atlantic Avenue would be quite inviting, with floor-to-ceiling glass contrasting against the more traditional materials up above, resulting in a welcoming space for passersby.

In terms of scope, the retail component would measure 34,258 square feet, while the residential space would total 202,041 square feet. There would also be 1,682 square feet of common space. The as-of-right zoning only allows for 96,912 square feet of space, however the rezoning would also come with a transfer of air rights from the neighboring Church, totaling approximately 70,000 square feet.

Hope Street Capital is the developer, and LPC approval is required as the project will sit nearly adjacent to the landmark Church of St. Luke & St. Matthew. The proposal would merge the zoning lots of the Church with several adjacent properties, leaving those immediately south intact. A string of low-slung and rather forgettable structures would be demolished fronting Atlantic Avenue.
