Hudson Companies Aiming High on Emerson Place

ermersonabove.jpgIn addition to writing blog posts and chairing park groups, David Kramer of The Hudson Companies also puts up buildings. In some cases, rather big ones. The J Condo is the company’s flagship project in Brooklyn to date, though the townhouse project at Third & Bond Streets in Gowanus is well underway and its proposal for Public Place is one of two in the final running. In the meantime, though, another large effort is in the works: 131 Emerson Place. The developer (along with the same partner it worked with on J Condo, Cara Development) has recently filed plans for a 16-story, 95,000-square-foot residential building on the 35,000-square-foot through-lot in northeastern Clinton Hill. The plan is for the residential building to front on Emerson with a possible community facility building on Classon; there will be outdoor parking in the middle of the lot. No retail. We’re hoping to beg, steal or borrow some renderings in the coming weeks. GMAP P*Shark DOB
