ODA to Design First Building in Huge Rheingold Brewery Complex in Bushwick

Developer Rabsky Group has chosen ODA Architecture to design the first of at least 10 mixed-use buildings planned for the massive Rheingold Brewery redevelopment in Bushwick, according to the first application for permits, filed yesterday. ODA is known for its designs featuring assemblages of boxes, and is quickly becoming one of the top firms designing in Brooklyn, with numerous projects in Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Crown Heights.

No renderings are out for this project yet, but the permit specifies a seven-story building with 398 units at 10 Montieth Street, as New York YIMBY was the first to report. The building will take up nearly an entire block, with about 270,000 square feet of space, including 265,000 square feet for apartments and 5,000 square feet for retail.

That leads YIMBY to speculate the apartments, with an average of less than 700 square feet each, will be rentals. There will also be parking for 204 bikes and 224 cars, a gym, a screening room, and outdoor space. The Schedule A specifies 26 apartments will be in the cellar, which if it’s not a mistake is certainly unusual.
