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.

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?

Bed Stuy is not safe and is one of the subprime capitals of NYC. You would have to be very brave to move to that area. A 27 year old girl was murdered just this morning on the street
12:09: You are dead wrong on the housing prices in the area. You will not be able to get a 3 story 2 family for under 400K in 2 years, which is what you are implying.
Bed-Stuy is no longer the hood, just some of the people are. Yes, What, I am referring to you.
Please, that murder was all the way on Hart St – on the Bushwick boarder of Bed-Stuy. I love how people comment about places they’ve never been. 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. Why don’t the rest of you with trust funds go somewhere like San Fran. Take your overpriced t-shirts and tight jeans with you.
The 27-year-old woman was killed far from this location–Bed-Stuy is a huge neighborhood.
I think the rentals could go for $1500 easily. You can’t find a small, decent 1-BR for less than $1300 in the vicinity. Check Craigslist!
Although there are no upscale stores, there are a few nice restaurants within a 10-min walk–not just Applebee’s. A new one will open in the fall on Nostrand, just north of the A-C subway stop. And there are several very nice coffee places. Plus the Foodtown supermarket is 1000 percent nicer than anything in Clinton Hill, where I used to live.
I can’t believe how many people talk about Bed-Stuy like it’s completely slum-like when they have never set foot there or even driven by except on Atlantic Ave. on the way from the airport. That is one ugly boulevard!
With the wake of the impending tough economic times as well as the impending green revolution, I think a lot of people are realizing that they’d rather have a smaller place in a nicer area (where they can walk to all services) than in a fringe area where cars are still needed, crime is up and economic woes will have the most profound effect.
My mother had a 1950’s sideboard in her dining room that looked just like that.
I live a couple block from here and i think this is a joke. I am all for gentrifying a neighbourhood but no way anyone in their right mind would pay 1.3m to live in this fugly bldg in the hood. and make no mistake this is definitely the hood. there is only cheap retail along this stretch and the only really dinning center is the applebys at Restoration Plaza. and at nights the area is very sketchy/dangerous.
I would not pay over 800K for ANY house in Bed Stuy.
Simply not worth the money for that neighborhood.
You people need to wake up.
Seriously.
Bed Stuy is going to be at a grinding halt in terms of gentrification for the next 5-7 years.
I suspect prices in Bed Stuy will tumble about 30-40% over the next two years.
If places like this are no longer affordable to the upper middle class, what areas will be??
The architect for this project is also doing the reno work at Restoration Plaza.
