Since we can’t go anywhere in parts of Brooklyn without tripping over a Boaz Gilad property, we discovered this rendering for a seven-story building going up on a Brookland Capital-owned site at 531 Vanderbilt Avenue, just north of Atlantic in Clinton Hill. The 18-unit building will be 11,946 residential square feet, according to new building permits issued Wednesday. Issac and Stern Architects are designing the building, which will have storage rooms, laundry and parking for 19 bikes.

Gilad purchased two vacant lots, 531 and 533 Vanderbilt, for $1,200,000 last March, public records indicate. This site is across the street from the big office building at 470 Vanderbilt and up the street from the 12-story mixed-use development planned for its parking lot. Also, we’ve included a picture of the construction site after the jump, and it looks like workers are putting in the foundation. The design doesn’t look terribly exciting, but what do you think?
