Two Apartment Buildings Will Replace Fort Greene Italianate and Carriage House

The three old buildings on the Fort Greene development site that sold for $7,500,000 last October will be knocked down and replaced with two apartment buildings, BuzzBuzzHome reported last week. The property at 171 South Portland Avenue and 164 South Oxford Street currently houses an 1865 brick Italianate configured as a double duplex and studio apartment, a 19th-century carriage house with two one-bedrooms, and a 20th century garage.

Developer East River Partners plans two four-story buildings with nine units and five units each, according to plan exams filed January 30. Belgian artist Marc Lambrechts sold the property to East River Partners in October. The developers filed a demolition application in December to take down the 5,500-square-foot mansion, but the DOB hasn’t approved it yet.
