There’s a huge development underway on Greene Avenue between Classon and Franklin. The lot’s a biggie — 160 feet of street frontage — and the building will be a not-insignificant 12 stories high. We haven’t seen any designs yet, but so far it looks like the building will take up most of the lot. Given that this is an R6 district, there will presumably have to be a lot of setbacks in order to reach 12 stories. We believe that there will have to be a bunch of parking included as well. Anyone know anything about the plans for this? We wouldn’t be surprised if there was an affordable housing component as well. We’d love to see a rendering. The builders have already managed to rack up two violations for performing work without a permit. Nice. Update: A reader reminds us that we wrote about this project last summer when many people in the community did in fact turn out to protest the scale and unsafe building practices of the developer, WT Construction.
