New Development at Myrtle and Clermont Avenues

We’ve gotten a number of inquiries in recent weeks about the big project at the corner of Myrtle and Clermont in Fort Greene. We posted photos of the lot back in November and a debate ensued about the degree of Fedders-ness of the design. Turns out it’s going to be a 6-story, 93,000-square-foot residential building, about 7,000 square feet of which will be office and retail space; in addition, there will be nine underground parking spots. The project is being done by the same group, BRP Development, that converted the Graham Home for Old Ladies in Clinton Hill. The building, which will consist entirely of two-bedroom, two-bath apartments, is designed by Danois Architects (which, before it does anything else, better redesign its website!) While the rendering isn’t anything to get excited about, the developers get big points for being concerned about contextual design: “The design continues the street wall of Myrtle Avenue at a scale that is consistent with buildings found along the avenue,” reads the website. “In an attempt to delicately intertwine the residential fabric of the neighborhood with the commercial strip, the wall of Myrtle Avenue conspicuously wraps around the corner, locating the residential and the office entrances along Clermont Avenue.”
