Rumors of Carlton Mews’ demise have been greatly exaggerated, it appears. A couple of months ago, very well-placed tipster sent word that the developers of Carlton Mews, the landmark-compliant new townhouse development (plus church conversion) at 233 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, was “on life support.” The project has been a long time coming and the developers have patiently worked closely with the community and LPC on the plans for a couple of years, so this was sad news to say the least. So we were psyched to get a tip yesterday that there was some new activity at the dormant site. We biked over and, sure enough, a contractor was getting ready to remove the trailer in anticipation of excavation work beginning within the next week. Turns out the New Building application was approved on May 6. Evidently, whatever financing troubles (if any) they’d been having have now been solved. Rock’n’roll!

My understanding is that there will be some affordable housing.
The back of the nave of that old church is simply fascinating.
If New York continues to fill up with people like you, that might not be a bad idea.
There is affordable housing in Pennsulvania. Why don’t you move there.
Is there going to be any affordable housing there?
Why not just build a big entertainment complex – wine bar + big nightclub and outdoor beer garden and all of Brownstoner won’t have any complaints
