Admiring 1024 Dean Street
Driving through Crown Heights last weekend, we took notice for the first time of the building at 1024 Dean Street. The most striking conversion of an industrial building we’d ever seen in the area, 1024 turns out to have won an award from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in 2005.

Driving through Crown Heights last weekend, we took notice for the first time of the building at 1024 Dean Street. The most striking conversion of an industrial building we’d ever seen in the area, 1024 turns out to have won an award from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in 2005. The 14,000-square-foot development known as the Ice House had to have been one of the first LEED-certified projects. The six-unit conversion was done on a $1.4 million budget (wow!) and from the street looks fantastic. Any readers been inside?

This Building is great. The owners did most of the work it is featured in the following book, which all you Brownstoners should dig…
The book itself should be featured on the site as it is all about residential Brooklyn living. I believe it should be available soon..

um, this building will be worthless once AY is built. morons.
Nicely done.
This under-the-radar section of Crown Heights will be very hot in the next up cycle. There are opportunities for developers in buildings that can be converted, as well as vacant lots and tear-downs. In fact it’s already begun. It may be five years, or fifty, but it seems inevitable.
Here are a couple of articles on the project:

Where are the idiots who are going to quote crime stats and comment on this “fringe” area. Come on, idiots, we know you are out there.
Never seen this place in person, but just looking at these pix, this appears to be an absolutely beautiful conversion.
Developers and contractors, and others in charge of making decisions on replacement windows, please take a long look here. Notice how the windows look absolutely first-rate? Like the real deal original sash windows? And not squared-off at the top as is the usual case?
Makes a big difference. This place looks great, and the windows are a very important aspect of why it looks successful.
Can anyone tell me – Are the lintels all original or were they rebuilt?
ummm the both of youz are morons!
um makes you sound like an 8 year old.
When you use the word moron, it makes you sound like a 12yr old
