It looks like construction is finally picking up at 500 Sterling Place, the 19,650-square-foot lot between Washington and Classon avenues. Excavation work started up and signage on the construction fence says work should last until June of next year. So what’s to come? When the site sold last fall for $6.8 million, it came with approved plans for a 35-unit residential project. The developers announced it would be a luxury rental. The most recent building application filed with the DOB specifies five stories and 38 units. The architect on record is Nataliya Donskoy. Until now, this lot has been quiet since 2008.

  1. So this site says this project at 500 sterling place is going to be 9 stories and by the foot print there now it really looks like it is going to be. set back from lot lines 20 ft. or so and to get 35 units in clearly they are going higher than 5 stories as the DOB filing. SO WHAT IS UP WITH A 9 STORY BUILDING HERE??? So out of place with nothing over 6 stories until you get up to Eastern Parkway…
