Upscale Green Townhouses Coming to Bed Stuy
Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think.

Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think. According to the listing agent, one of the three houses is already spoken for, which is impressive since a $1,300,000 price tag isn’t easy to pull off in this part of town these days. Then again, nothing like this has been done in the area as far as we know. Think they’ll be a market for this approach?

The misinformation on this site from people who don’t know an area, and believe anything negative they see anywhere, without questioning the source or the context, is amazing.
People are still buying homes in Brooklyn. Those who want to buy in BS are still coming to BS, because it is more affordable, has gorgeous housing stock, and is a vibrant, historic community with a lot of good going for it, and it’s getting better every day. You don’t need a car to live here, it is well served by subways and buses, and even an LIRR stop. The A/C are as good as it gets on the subway system, and have good connections to every line except the R/N.
The prices for prime Bed Stuy brownstones are NOT going down to $400K. You wouldn’t be able to pay that on the worst block in BS, ain’t happening. Anyone waiting for that blessed moment will be in a nursing home before that day. A slower economy may slow down the rapid gentrification that has been taking place in some areas of this HUGE neighborhood, but the area around Restoration Plaza and the Nostrand Ave and Kingston Ave stops on the A/C, where these houses are, is going to continue to rise in price.
Are these the greatest houses in the world, no. Do they help those who need affordable housing in the area, of course not. But they are a tangible representation of an investment in the area, and that is a good thing for all of us.

The Post reported the murder at Hart and Lewis. That’s two blocks from Broadway. I consider that the border of Bushwick. Anyway, it’s a good 20 minute walk from New York Ave. and Herkimer (the site of this new development).
True, teachers cannot afford these townhomes. Makes me wonder: Is “green” living just for the rich? If that’s the case, what’s the point?
@ 12:18pm you are wrong this happened in Bed-Stuy and where she was does not border Bushwick…. get your information right!!!
And yet another 3 million dollar Park Slope house is sold…

“Im friends with a large group of young teachers and they all live in park slope.
they make around 50k a year.”
And they BOUGHT 1.3 million dollar homes in Park Slope??
Yea, didn’t think so.
“You will not be able to get a 3 story 2 family for under 400K in 2 years”
Yes, you will.
I’ve already seen prices go from 800-900K two years ago to 700K for some.
Bed Stuy did not gentrify at the level that prices did in the last 10 years.
That needs to be corrected.
If you don’t believe that, you are being dellusional.
Im friends with a large group of young teachers and they all live in park slope.
they make around 50k a year.
“Bed-Stuy is not Cobble Hill or Ft. Greene, but it’s home to a diverse group of working New Yorkers. Some of us are actually teachers and the like with normal incomes”
Very interesting quote 12:18 but these are priced as if it were Fort Green or Cobble Hill. The normal teachers you refer to cannot afford these.
