Broadway Build in Ocean Hill Looking Close to Done With Windows, Facade

When we stopped by a few days ago, a four story building at 1666-1668 Broadway in Ocean Hill with interesting reclaimed looking bricks making up its facade was looking nearly complete, at least on the outside. Workers were busy inside and out all through the winter, even in the dark and cold.

Technically two buildings — one is new and one is an enlargement — it will have retail space on the ground floor and eight units on the three floors above, according to new-building permits.

The building faces the JMZ elevated train, which makes us hope its windows are soundproof. A developer bought the two properties, one of which was an empty lot, for $400,000 in 2013.
