There aren’t a ton of new buildings going up in Crown Heights, a function, we assume, of the relative lack of empty lots as compared to, say, neighboring Bed Stuy. One new effort is an eight-unit residential building at 717 Prospect Place just east of Rogers Avenue. When all’s said and done, the new development will be about 9,000 square feet across five floors. It’s too early to opine about the aesthetics but let’s just say we don’t have particularly high hopes. Maybe we’ll be surprised. GMAP DOB
