fence
development
We drove past this large lot on Myrtle and Nostrand last week and were able to find a hole in the fence to sneak a picture. When we inquired at a store across the street, the extremely up-on-his-real-estate proprietor informed us that this was going to be a huge condo development. Lots of 1,000-square-foot two bedrooms for $450 a foot, he informed us. When we started asking around among brokers, we were quickly directed to the website below which was created by the previous owners who were looking to flip the site with approved plans. A tip that everybody’s favorite architect Scarano & Associates was behind the design led us to a treasure trove of info on what we’ve now learned is called Myrtle Place: 74,000 square feet of residential areas shared by 72 apartments, more than 14,000 square feet of commercial spaces, an underground parking garage for 42 cars and 2,500 square feet of medical offices. They have the brashness to claim that the site is located in Clinton Hill–probably the biggest reach we’ve heard yet. Large-scale luxury living in Bed Stuy is slated for November of 2006.

  1. It would be a nice thing if these were apartment building being built. There are people from the Neighborhood with mothers who will not leave… so a good place to live in this area would not be a bad thing. I believe the area is getting better and we need places like this for those of us who want better.
