Development Watch: Schermerhorn House Rising

160scherm073107.jpg
It’s been a long time—more than a year—since there was much to report about the Schermerhorn House, the second phase of the Abby Hamlin/Time Equities project that began with the 14 Townhouses. But there she is, rising like a phoenix from the asphalt. According to DOB filings, the 11-story building will have 190 units (a Fort Green Courier article last year said the number was 217), half of which will be for the formerly homeless and the other half for low-income residents and artists (which begs the question of whether you could be a high-income artist and still live there). We believe that all the units will be studios. In all, you’re looking at about 100,000 square feet of new space, including the street level.
