Development Watch: 377 Franklin Stalled No More
After stalling out for a few months this Spring (there was speculation that it had something to do with the structure being overbuilt), work at 377 Franklin Avenue resumed a few weeks ago and is looking like it’s almost ready for walk-throughs. Even though the 12-unit building looks too bulky to us next to those…
After stalling out for a few months this Spring (there was speculation that it had something to do with the structure being overbuilt), work at 377 Franklin Avenue resumed a few weeks ago and is looking like it’s almost ready for walk-throughs. Even though the 12-unit building looks too bulky to us next to those brick townhouses, we’d rather see something like this (even if it is by Bricolage) than the horrible new Fedders row houses that have been spreading like a virus nearby. Anyone know who will be marketing these units?

Franklin Avenue Rising: 377’s Gone Yellow [Brownstoner]
Okay, one: the community board, zip code and council district boundaries are all on Classon. This is Bed Stuy.
Two: it is hard for me to see how a bunch of privileged rich folks snapping up the cookies at heavenly crumbs is good for anyone in the neighborhood. It won’t improve life for the people trying to get by around there.
Already longtime
Classon is the border for Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill, and Crown Hghts. is the other side of Atlantic.
I believe Franklin and Quincy is considered Clinton Hill so you are both wrong.
CHTS Wade T? Heavenly Crumbs is a block north of this building.
Yes, it does look a little bulky nest to the brick townhouses. The best solution si to tear down the brick townhouses and build something nice
bedstuyagent…you are a waste of time. a block north of…
… oh my god…
…I’m going to puke again.
bedstuyagent…this is CHTS. I’m going to go look at your site now.
I’ll be sure to report back
I agree this building does not look too bad in person, and the fact that it is on a corner helps with the issue of context… it would be more jarring in the middle of a row of townhouses. I am not bothered too much by the more modern design of some of the newer condos, as long as they try to stay relatively close to the neighborhood scale. There is a not bad condo development of DeKalb (lofts) with the same flavor, and now that it is occupied, I think it works.
This is in Bed Stuy not Crown Heights, and while you are there check out Heavenly Crumbs a block north for one of the best bakeries in the city, while you are at it get onto shopbedstuy.com.
