Links to the big 16 developments in western Crown Heights

Despite the title to this thread, I am presently watching approximately 16 developments, not exactly 16. Regardless, here they are, complete with some introductory commentary that I periodically update. To get the latest commentary and news on each development, follow the link for each.

I'll be posting this index thread around the web over the next few months....

7. Formerly the home to Hot dog and Pepsi combos for $1.99, and Gulf gasoline, the corner of EP and Bedford might be in the process of becoming a Marriott hotel, but the developer is believed to be waiting to learn what the armory will become.

12. The Spice Factory on Franklin near Empire was rumored to have changed hands. That rumor has been denied, but it seems to be just a matter of time. http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/38820/employee-of-spice-factory-on-franklin-near-sullivan-states-rumors-of-sale-are-not-accurate#Item_16

Completed threads that were members of the "big 16"

A. The long vacant, large lot located on Sterling, between Washington and Classon was built on, and became 38 market rate units: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/36676/vacant-lot-on-sterling-between-washington-and-classon [thread now closed, building now complete and fully occupied]

B. The 1000 Dean St project (located between Classon and Franklin) provides a permanent home to the Brooklyn Flea, and has an associated food court and beer hall: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/36017/new-development-coming-to-dean-between-franklin-classon#Item_92

http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/37390/899-917-bergen-street-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg [threads now closed, both venues are fully complete and occupied]

C. The building at the highly visible corner of Franklin and Eastern Parkway has been completed, 70 market rate units: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/35888/the-curious-case-of-341-eastern-parkway-aka-the-hole-  [thread closed, building now fully occupied]

BTW, this list by Rachel includes some of the ones I list above, but also adds developments south of Empire. Many of these developments are small, but help add to overall picture of what is happening in the area:

It complements my list nicely.

14, 15, 16

#15 is actually the SW corner @whynot_31 :-) 

Fixed, thanks

How about the new building on Atlantic near the post office? Isn't that big?

Is it on the CH side of Atlantic? I'm not sure which building you mean.

Oh, I guess it is Bed Sty since it is on other side of street.

I only track western Crown Heights. Don't try to make me crazier than I am.

We are now up to 17 developments on our list of 16 developments.

17. The Southern, brick, portion of the former brewery on Franklin and Bergen (discussed above as item #4) is going to be renovated into a mixed use residential-commercial complex.

http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45144/restoring-the-old-nassau-brewery#Item_9

18 has been added above

18. Twelve story, 170 unit building replacing garage previously owned by Brooklyn Botanical Garden on Montgomery St, between Washington and Franklin: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/comment/559266#Comment_559266

Curious as to how many units in total...

I've added some of the known numbers in the descriptions above. We will break 1000 new units.

That count doesn't even include the changes happening at Tivoli and 780 Washington.

Wow... some serious change happening over the next couple years.  I presume its safe to assume that all, or most, of these will be inhabited by the end of 2016.

Is any of this slotted to be affordable or mixed-income?

I believe all of the developments I have listed will be completed by the Summer of 2018.

There are not many subsidized units in the pipeline for western Crown Heights, because most of them are being built As of Right.

#1 (the former theater) will have a few.
#9 (the back portion of the armory) might have some, but it too early to be certain.
#11 (Tivoli) will be rent stabilized, when it is repopulated
#13 The former BP station will have 32

Expect thousands of applicants for dozens of units.

Today, Rebecca of YIMBY did a nice round up of the above buildings that have so far agreed to contain affordable units: http://newyorkyimby.com/2015/07/tracking-affordable-housing-and-rezonings-in-crown-heights.html?utm_source=YIMBY+News&utm_campaign=b34f5c0ff7-YIMBY_News_7_18_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d76c6a6290-b34f5c0ff7-117441629&ct=t(YIMBY_News_JUL_18_2015)

It now appears #15 may not occur.

15. The very visible building at the SW corner of Nostrand and EP will be torn down and be replaced with 18 apartments
http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/44718/834-nostrand-new-residential-development/p1

#15 has been taken off the list. However, a new development has been added. So, we are still holding steady at 18.

19. The defunct school located at the corner of Rogers and Sterling appears as if it will change ownership and be brought back to life as something.
116 Rogers, 118 Rogers,120 Rogers, 122 Rogers, 124 Rogers, 126 Rogers, 770 Sterling
