Developments in Eastern CH

So since I live in "southeast" CH, that is south of Eastern Parkway, I will try to focus on this area.  

Troy Avenue has some empty lots on which I'm eager to see some movement - a small one on Troy and President; a decent sized one on Troy and Carroll; and a very large one on Troy and Crown.

Albany Avenue has an empty lot as well on the corner of Union.

Finally... For the corner of Troy and Carroll: 26 Units Slated for 341 Troy Avenue in Crown Heights

699 Eastern Parkway, close to the northwest corner of Brooklyn Ave. - See more at: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45057/699-eastern-parkway-close-to-the-northwest-corner-of-brooklyn-ave-

A friend of mine asked me about 1308 and 1314 Lincoln Place.  It is currently an empty lot and appears to be owned by Brookland Capital..  I had a look around, and it appears that, back in October, they filed for a two new 6 story residential buildings with 13 units each.  I haven't seen this discussed anywhere else.

A new development east of Utica in the far southeast corner of Crown Heights.

"Pushing ever deeper into Crown Heights, a permit application was filed yesterday with the Department of Buildings to construct a 50-unit apartment building at 12 Ford Street, on the narrow, two-block-long oddly shaped street on the far eastern edge of the neighborhood."

YIMBY: Permits Filed: 12 Ford Street, Crown Heights - 

  http://newyorkyimby.com/2015/02/permits-filed-12-ford-street-crown-heights.html

YIMBY describes the location as "Near the East New York border with East Flatbush and divided from Brownsville by Lincoln Terrace Park," but that must be a mistake.

There are two Ford Streets in Brooklyn, which seems to confuse google.

These links go to the right one:

Ford and ENY Ave.

I suspect the decrepit red house and the vacant lot around it, will soon be history.

@whynot_31 - I don't think that is correct.  12 Ford St., 11213, (Block: 1415 Lot: 32) is between Carroll and Crown.  The decrepit red house is 1017 ENY Ave.  The link to Google maps which I posted appears to be correct.

Fine, the red house stays, for a while.

...but your google link takes me to Ave U. and Ford, which is decidely the wrong Ford St.

It appears that the same owner owns Block: 1415 Lots: 31, 32, 33, and 34.  If the developer got all of them, the site would be 100 x 100.  

But I also note that the same owner owns lot 36 as well.  Lot 35, owned by someone else, if not purchased as well, was likely was part of some serious negotiations.  Lot 37, the corner, is owned yet by another person.

And BTW, the zoning is R7-1!

Interesting.  This is what I get when I click it.  Damn Google.

Got it, we are talking about the lots with the trees, and some wooden houses.

"the apartment building would rise seven stories and 75 feet into the air. Its 50 apartments (which appear to us to be market-rate) would be spread over a bit more than 34,000 square feet of residential space, for an average unit size of under 700 square feet, with between six and nine units per floor. There will be 22 parking spaces, of which 15 are required by the zoning code."

It seems like they only got 4 lots for a total of 100 x 100.  34k sqf is pretty much maxing out that space.  100 x 100 = 10k x R7-1 FAR of 3.44 = ~34k.

I think it safe to assume the residents will shop on Utica between EP and Carroll, as they walk to and from the subway.

And now the northwest corner of Ford and Crown (Block: 1415 Lots: 35, 36, and 37; next door to the 12 Ford Street development discussed above)... 

"24 Ford Street: An LLC has filed applications for a seven-story, 55-unit residential building measuring nearly 36,900 square feet at the vacant lot of 24 Ford Street, in eastern Crown Heights. Charles Mallea, of M Architecture, is designing."

May not be for much longer.  Seems like the corner of Ford, East New York, and Rochester, consisting of 2 lots, will be the next obvious site to be developed in the area...

People too lazy to click may appreciate a photo of the red house (1017 East New York Avenue at the corner of Ford and Rochester), and its state of repair.



Demolition looks like it will be a quick process.

I wouldn't surprise me if the yellow house in the foreground (378 Rochester) ended up being knocked down by the excavator as well

In terms of red wooden houses, This one at 211 Troy (near Sterling) will soon be history:

Yes; I am most excited about the change to Utica (and the park).  I am looking forward to some cool new stores.  

These developments are pretty much in the southeastern most corner of CH.  We should now expect everything between the Ford Street developments and the Utica train station to be game for development and change. 105 new rentals (safe assumption) has the tendency to do that to an area.  

I wasn't expecting a jump this far from the current developments (Rogers/EP area), but I welcome it nonetheless.

Eastern CH south of EP may just turn before eastern CH north of EP.  The race has begun in earnest.

"My" red house already has a demolition permit. Yours does not.

 It's just a matter of time... the "right" offer will eventually come.  I'm sure activity has picked up recently as a result of the two developments above.

Returning to 8 Ford Street and 12 Ford Street-
They have been both recently been awarded their demolition permits.

8 - 24 Ford Street between Carroll and Crown is now getting its own discussion:

A massive one for St John's near Kingston.
