New 10-Unit Building For Washington Ave. in Clinton Hill

Permits were recently filed with the city to build a new 10-unit, four-story building at 269 Washington Avenue, between Willoughby and Dekalb avenues, a site that is currently a vacant lot. There’s no official rendering available yet, but we’re hearing from our sources in the development community it will be a luxury rental mostly made up of large, four-bedroom apartments in order to appeal to students at Pratt, which is a block away. There’s talk that it will probably break ground by summer. Since the site lies in a historic district, the design will need to get a thumbs-up from Landmarks, so we’re assuming the look they’ll go for will be a contextual brick facade. GMAP
