535 Flushing Avenue is due for new six-story, six-apartment building

A 13,000-square-foot mixed-use project is hurtling towards a vacant corner lot at 535 Flushing Avenue in Williamsburg.

Located at the intersection of Flushing and Nostrand avenues, the six-story, six-unit building will have 2,900 square feet of commercial space, 1,096 square feet of community facility space and 8,915 square feet of residential. Jeffrey Kamen is the architect of record, according to the permit filed today.

Apartments will start on the third floor, and the building will rise 70 feet. The 45′ by 100′ lot was acquired by Herab Realty LLC in 2009 for $852,000, according to Department of Finance records.

Wythe Lane:

The homes will measure about 17-feet wide, 3,800 square feet large, and have four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a finished basement, a roof deck, garage parking, and a yard, which will open onto the private lane. The renderings show grey brick buildings wrapped with a plant-covered trellis that connects the lane to the roof with a stretch of greenery.

531 Vanderbilt Avenue:

According to permits filed last year, the structure will have just over 13,000 square feet of total floor area, and a bit under 12,000 square feet will be devoted to apartments. With just around 660 square feet per unit on average, the condos will be relatively small – probably studios and one-bedrooms – offering ownership at a much lower price point than the townhouses and larger for-sale apartments in the area.

301 North 7th Street:

The Einhorns filed plans with the city’s Department of Buildings in May to build a new, 34,827-square-foot building with nine stories at the site. The DOB approved permits for the project Aug. 22, city records show. The Einhorn company acquired the site for $3.3 million, city records show.

280 East 161st Street:

Renderings show a new, three-pronged structure rising from behind the current U-shaped building. The new apartments would rise 12 stories overtop a garage, with 240 units, and a total floor space of around a quarter of a million square feet. (The lot’s liberal R8 zoning combined with the relatively sparse existing development, however, means that it could theoretically accommodate much more.)

According to permits, 1288 East 19th Street will have 37 units spread over 40,078 square feet of residential space, yielding small family-sized apartments. The structure will rise 80 feet (the maximum height in R7A districts), and have no parking. Steve Hidary, of Hidrock Realty Inc., is the developer. In the past, they’ve mostly done hotel and office projects, however they’ve also dipped their toes into residential development with small projects in southern Brooklyn.

190-11 Hillside Avenue:

A 21-unit, seven-story building at 190-11 Hillside Avenue, near the corner of 191st Street, has got it beat. The developer – Great Neck-based TCX, an offshoot of The Construction Experts – told YIMBY that construction there began last December, and is expected to wrap up in January 2015.

The 15,000-square-foot apartment building will hold mainly one-bedroom units, with a three-bedroom penthouse. The one-bedrooms, TCX’s Joshua Asherian said, will rent for around $1,600 a month – very affordable compared to new construction in Manhattan and the trendier parts of Brooklyn and Queens, where similarly-sized units can easily go for twice that.

Community Board OKs Affordable Housing on Grand Street in East Williamsburg

Community Board 1 greenlighted an eight-story affordable housing project at 695 Grand Street in East Williamsburg last night.

The 51-unit project on Grand Street, pictured above, will have a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedrooms, with 41 units set aside for low- to moderate-income families, as we previously reported. The affordable housing is for families who make between 30 percent and 60 percent of the Area Median Income, which ranges from $25,750 to $51,540 for a family of four, according to the HPD. Ten of those units will be permanently affordable, and eight will be reserved for Section 8 housing for very low-income tenants.

The building will also have 10,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space, to replace two storefronts on the site that will be demolished. The project’s architect, Magnusson Architecture and Planning, plans to incorporate several green features into the design, including a wall of vines, landscaped roof decks and hydroponic PTAC units. The developer is nonprofit St. Nick’s Alliance, which will finance most of the $20,000,000 project with state and low-income housing tax credits.

735 and 737 Bergen Street:

Boaz Gilad (henceforth known as Borg Gilad) continues to assimilate all of Brooklyn into his grotesque condo structure, with renderings for a new Bergen Street project in Crown Heights revealed yesterday. Now, check these renderings for yet another Gilad project slated for construction on Bergen Street, this time over in Prospect Heights.

According to plans filed in October, Brookland Capital is planning two five-story buildings at 735 and 737 Bergen Street, with eight and nine units respectively. As always, the whimsically imaginative minds over at Isaac & Stern designed the development.

11-51 47th Avenue:

The 70,000-square foot project will consist of 52,728 square feet of net residential space divided among 56 condos, for an average apartment size just below 1,000 square feet. Half the units will be two-bedrooms, while the other half will be split between one- and three-bedroom units, yielding a substantial percentage of family-sized units. At the base there will be a small 1,280-square foot retail space and a 23-space garage, per the application.

Demolition Permits Filed for Harte and Co. Factory Complex in Greenpoint

The wrecking ball may be coming soon for several buildings in the Harte and Company Factory complex in Greenpoint, where the developer filed demolition permits earlier this month. Applications have been filed to knock down 71 Dupont Street, 93 Dupont Street, 22 Clay Street, 26 Clay Street (pictured above), 30 Clay Street and 32 Clay Street. However, no permits have been filed for the main factory building at 280 Franklin Street, a big Arte Moderne structure from the 1930s. The developer, Dupont Street Developers LLC, hasn’t said whether the building and its unique curved glass facade will be part of the site’s planned residential project.

The group of investors behind the LLC are planning a 400-unit apartment building with 200 parking spaces, as we reported a few months ago. They paid $23,250,000 for 10 separate properties on Dupont, Clay and Franklin Streets in May. The former plastics factory is a state Superfund site, and it will cost an estimated $10,000,000 to clean it up before construction can begin.
