Prospect Lefferts Gardens is the next frontier for Brooklyn developers, wrote Jonathan Berman, vice president of Ariel Property Advisors in the Brooklyn Eagle. The appeal includes proximity to the park, Botanic Garden, and rising property values. Developers are snapping up vacant lots, and stalled projects are back on track.
In the pipeline for this neighborhood known for its 19th century townhouses are 10 projects, eight of which feature a combined total of 616 units, both rentals and condos:
*626 Flatbush Avenue
Hudson Companies plans a 23-story, mixed-use building with 254 rental units and retail and community space (pictured above).
*510 Flatbush Avenue
Tom Anderson of 31 Lincoln Road Development intends to build a nine-story, 56-unit mixed-use building with retail and community space.
*33 Lincoln Road
Anderson is also building an eight-story apartment house with 87 units and retail and community space.
*271 Lenox Road
Already on the market is this 15-story, 56-unit condo building by developer Eli Karp of Hello Living.
*651 New York Avenue
Hello Living is planning another condo building here. This one will be six stories with 40 units.
*226 Linden Boulevard
This site is still a vacant lot, but permits have been issued for a nine-story, 72-unit apartment building with community space. The owner is Emory Brooks of C.C.M.S.
*329 Sterling Street
Thomas Lieberman of Jacquelyn 327 LLC has applied to build a six-story, 29-unit apartment house on a vacant lot here.
*329 Lincoln Road
This vacant lot is getting a six-story, 22-unit building with community space from owner Alembic Community Development.
*Development site at Nostrand and Clarkson avenues
This lot has 145,720 buildable square feet. It’s one block from Kings County Hospital, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and other medical buildings. It was asking $10,000,000 and is now in contract.
And, not mentioned, but also in the works: 111 Clarkson, where developer Seth Brown plans to put up a five- or six-story eco-friendly luxury building.
Do you think all the new developments will be a boon or a blight for the neighborhood?

You’re so right. The B/Q doesn’t seem to come frequently enough to handle the crowds for most of Brooklyn. Huge numbers of people also disembark at Kings Highway and Avenue U and there are still many more people on the train to Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach, etc. How does the MTA get petitioned to run more trains?
At 7th Ave. it would be good to reopen the other two exits. Not only are many people getting off the train but the number of self-entitled types who push past others heading for the same exit has ramped up, too.
