New Northern Crown Heights Hotel in the Works
A large lot on Atlantic Avenue between Nostrand and New York avenues that used to be a place where you could (according to a sign that’s still hanging there) buy live poultry is now a hotel development site.

A large lot on Atlantic Avenue between Nostrand and New York avenues that used to be a place where you could (according to a sign that’s still hanging there) buy live poultry is now a hotel development site. Foundation work is underway on the property, which, per DOB filings is going to be a 5-story, 54-room hotel. The view is of train tracks, and it’s a couple blocks from the Crown Heights armory, where the city wants to relocate a homeless intake center from Manhattan. Competition for the Nu and Le Bleu?

You know something Mr. Moreteasir, I’d like that.
By the way I like cherries!
Hey ClintonHillLady:
Whaddya say this Sunday at the flea I introduce my southern crown heights to your clinton hill and we have a prospect heights?
I’ll bring fresh fruit!!!
Oh, how do you know that the Atlantic Inn charges by the hour!!!!!
Actually bxgirl…my place would be a much better option. Your guest can stay at my brownstone in one of my 5 bedrooms and not have to hear the awful noise of a train speed by every 10 minutes or so.
The going rate, however, is much higher then 55 bucks for 4 hours! (smile)
The Foodtown that is located two blocks away sells fresh, affordable fruits/vegetables. Their store is decent. But, maybe you should contact the developer and ask him to put in a fruit and vegetable store….
By the way, I would love to have a beautiful community garden or park instead of a Best Western Hotel. But does that mean drug dealers/prostitutes, unsavory characters would hang out in it?
We can all say what we want to be built there, but if we want to be “real” if any of us had the money to invest, someone should have done it by now.
I’ve been looking at the empty lot for 5 years, and my neighbors have been looking at it for much longer; you, nor anyone else, has come up with anything better up to this point, so….. I still cannot imagine that a hotel would lower my property values as opposed to a huge empty lot.
I was thinking about the one thing y’all did have that was decent…
..and that one gaffe surely negates the two public housing projects I mentioned and several tenement buildings located in the area….or could you not hear me over the roar of the LIRR?
course it’s paradise compared to the bx right?
How many hourly hotels located in SCH?
How about housing projects?
Armory Homeless shelters?
Hurry home and move your Geo to the other side of the street.
No, I’m no psychic just a realist!
And why won’t they charge by the hour? The Atlantic Inn, which is not far from this location, does! So no, I am not privy to developer information but I am privy to the track records of so called hotels in the area.
There has got to be a better option then some low budget hotel. bxgrl won’t you agree?!?
A ClintonHillLady- it’s a best Western and frankly I’d let them stay there before I’d let them stay in your house:-)
You are clueless – the Brooklyn children’s museum is in Crown Heights North. And there’s quite a bit more but if you can’t even figure out where the Brooklyn children’s Museum is it certainly doesn’t make it worth my while to tell you anything else. Or should I not mention that people in CHN had the wherewithal and the dedication to make landmarking happen- CHS hasn’t even begun. tell you anything about people?
As for the “hourly hotel capital” – do us all a favor- figure out where CHN is first before you start rewriting maps.
“If it is a hotel that charges by the hour and I’m sure it is, think of quality of people that are going to hang around said hotel.”
And you’re another “assumer” I take it, Aclintonhilllady. And you’re assuming all this why? Because you’re psychic? because you’re privy to developer information that no one else is? Do you speak from fact or would you rather continue to talk out of sheer ignorance?
