Development Watch: The Clermont
When we last checked in with the BRP Development project at the corner of Myrtle and Clermont in Fort Greene, we were working with an early rendering that didn’t give a great feel for what the end product would look like.

When we last checked in with the BRP Development project at the corner of Myrtle and Clermont in Fort Greene, we were working with an early rendering that didn’t give a great feel for what the end product would look like. Now that the construction is humming along and there’s a better rendering, we thought it worth a revisit. While this project may not win the Pritzker, it gets big points for be a contextual, well-balanced design of, we’re guessing, limestone and brick. The apartment windows are nicely sized, as are those on the retail level. The company’s website also points out that the streetwall lines up with the adjacent building on Myrtle. And while Myrtle Avenue has certainly made huge strides in recent years, it’s not surprising that the developers decided to emphasize the other street it sits on in naming the building The Clermont.

So we’re all on the same page, what is YOUR definition of “ghettoish”? I’d like to know, so I’m aware of when I’m in the presence of these “ghettoish” people.
“So does the people.”
Speaking of ghetto…
That area of Mytle next to Nostrand still looks ghettoish. So does the people.
Home Depot is by Nostrand, so you got the sausage cart out front.
How is the area closer to Nostrand. I have seen something going up there before. Does look inviting yet? any new restaurants and shops up there? I once was thinking of moving up there.
Actually closer to Clinton Avenue there are quote a few decent non-diner restaurants. Chez Lola, Maggie Browns’s, Graziella’s, Luce, Thai, Indian, Pilllow Cafe, etc…
and a couple cafes are supposed to be opening up soon
Still just diners and bagel shops so far.
I don’t think there are nay starbucks yet. There are a couple of bodegas where I am sure they have some coffee and fried plantains.
