Rendering, Construction Progress at Former Stark-Fischer Project in North Williamsburg

Three stories have gone up so far at 239 North 9th Street in Williamsburg, which will eventually be a six-story apartment building, according to recent building permits.

Karl Fischer was originally the applicant of record for the development, back when it was owned by murdered developer Menachem Stark. Fortis Group took over the loan in 2011 and purchased the property outright for $4,864,680 in 2012, public records show. A lis pendens was filed on the property in 2009, and PropertyShark records a lien for $87,081 from Karl Fischer Architecture at that time, among others, including bank liens.

We found the above rendering on Fortis’ website. Permits indicate there will be 78 apartments, but Fortis’ website says the plan is a 77,600-square-foot, 120-unit building. Construction began last April and is scheduled to wrap in June 2014, according to Fortis.
