A Tour of the Navy Green's 45 Clermont

[nggallery id=56593 template=galleryview]
Yesterday we toured 45 Clermont, the first completed building in the Navy Green development, where move-ins just began. There were more than 13,000 applications for apartments in the 100-unit affordable rental building. The building has high-end finishes, spacious apartments, a community room, bike storage and a nice outdoor space. The outdoor space will expand as the development does, eventually with a public plaza fronting Flushing Avenue. The next two buildings in the development are expected to be finished this year. The red building on Vanderbilt will begin renting in a few months. After that, construction should wrap on the third building, on Flushing and Clermont, in September. That building will also be affordable, but with a higher income bracket and units up to three bedrooms. It’ll also have ground-floor commercial space. Beyond the first three buildings, a market-rate condo on Vanderbilt and Flushing is planned, as well as 23 single-family townhouses that will be built on both Clermont and Vanderbilt. The whole shebang will take another three years to complete. So far, though, everything’s looking good.
