State Street Getting 25 New Townhouses

A reader recently pointed us to a rendering of the townhouse development that is under construction on State Street between Smith and Hoyt. According to the website for Rogers Marvel Architects, 25 to 27 single-family townhouses are being built as part of a mixed-use master plan for the block. The first phase will see the construction of 14 market-rate, 3,200-square-foot houses. We infer that at least some of the remaining 11 to 13 houses will be for lower-income residents. From the rendering, it looks like the exteriors of these places will be tastefully done, though it's hard to see much detail. If anyone in the nabe can snap a photo of the site in progress for us, we'd certainly appreciate it. Our tipster also notes that across the street on Hoyt there is an 8-story, 158-unit building called the State Renaissance on the rise. Thanks, JN!

I live a block away and as of right now there is nothing there. They've broken ground but I'm fairly certain there isn't even a foundation yet. The sign that's up says they'll start taking applications in January 2006. Now that I think about it, that could be for the State Renaissance. The one I'm thinking of is on the Northeast corner of the intersection. I'm leaving town for a long weekend, but I could take some photos when I return next week.

I think its 4200 sq ft townhouses not 3200....
and doubt remainder will be other than market rate-----any guesses what that will be? Your favorite realtor does have info on the project on their site - if you search new development in Bklyn- but no prices yet- so I suppose they have the exclusive. (My guess is $3.3 million each)
There will be some below market housing in the larger downtown redevelopment site.
Wirednewyork.com has extensive info on all the downtown and vicinity projects.

The Empire State Developent Corporation (ESDC) sold the developer the property since the land was state owned property. The state took over the land and tore down all the brownstones on the north side of State to put in the subway line below. The five cutouts are still left standing because they managed to get themselves landmarked (national registry, not city) fast enough. They were all built around the Civil War era. I would guess the remainder of the townhouses are going to be affordable housing of some sort since the ESDC decided who the developer would be. I'm sure a press release could be dug up easily.

the other day I was at the "Boulevardeast" condominium ( near the Quakers School and the Court house) open house and the agent casually mentioned that they were going to be building $3 million Dollar townhouses nearby on State Street, so I guess these are the ones you are talking about.

This is a proper use of modern arch in brooklyn.
it is a million times better thet set back tower (like the disaster on Carlton st).
I know that it is probably quite hi end places but it shoud be a row model for low income buildings as well.
Only think i could say is that a little more diversity would be even better.
THIS IS THE WAY TO GO FOR MODERN BROOKLYN
