111 Montgomery Street Rendering

A rendering has emerged for a 12-story Crown Heights residential behemoth set to rise adjacent to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and shuttle tracks.

Permits for 109 Montgomery Street were filed last year, and now with construction and demolition for the existing structure approved, developer PWR Holdings has put the site on the market, NY YIMBY reported.

An existing single story commercial building will be done away with, and an apartment building designed by architect Karl Fischer with 162 units will rise in its place.

Currently, the development is slated to have a 71-car underground garage, a community recreation space, and a “pet spa room,” according to permits.

The rendering shows a layered black and beige leviathan dotted by terraces and patterned with floor to ceiling street facing windows. The popular architect is known for his mid- and large-size apartment buildings throughout north Brooklyn, many in light-colored brick.

Variations in the depth of the balconies and other details gives a dynamic feel to the facade. It is pedestrian friendly with large glass windows housing stores on the ground floor.

In June, commercial brokerage TerraCRG was approved to market the property as rentals, but now they are proposing reducing the amount of units to expand each apartment’s square footage and sell as condos, according to YIMBY.

  1. If the site is on the market, nothing will be done until it’s sold. But will whoever buys it be beholden to the current plans? Seems like larger units and condos is a good idea for more permanent, less transient residents.
