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?

2:11 How about a decent supermarket that sells fresh affordable fruits and vegetables. How about anything that doesn’t lower the property value in the area. Come on people!
And bxgrl…lol…you would really let guest stay at a pay by hour hotel on Atlantic Ave. Glad I’m not one of your guest! lol
Ok let’s see….

Yeah, I’m clueless.
Do you know that this hotel is going to charge by the hour??? Like I said, you don’t have to look at the lot every day. Why don’t you think of the quality of people that hang out in front of the empty lot??
What would YOU like to see built there???
Not me- I’m thrilled they’re doing it! This is an up and coming area,I like the mix and it’s comfortable. I wouldn’t want it over gentrified, but things like the hotel help- I’d love a few more neighborhood amenities and so would all my neighbors.Not to mention I’ll have a place to let guests stay. Wonder how they’ll baffle the noise from the train? I have friends who live on that side of the street and wonder how bad the noise is.
I’m glad there’s interest in the area too but lets be real that hotel is not the type of interest you want. Is it?
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.
They just closed one of those hotels in Clinton Hill and trust me the area is better for it!
Who knows if a hotel is the best thing in the world? But frankly, I am damn sick of looking at the empty lot every day. Makes the block look like sh*t. So, they will build a Best Western on Atlantic and Condos on Pacific, I’ve talked to the developer.
Unless you live right there, and have to look at the crappy lot, I don’t think you should be so judgmental. Anything is better than what is there now. But I guess people have to complain about something.
Do you know how expensive the Marriott in Downtown Brooklyn is???? Maybe a hotel will be another option for people who cannot affort a $250 a night hotel in Downtown Brooklyn. It will be located right at the LIRR stop. Easy access from JFK and to A train.
Why any of you would rather see an empty lot there is beyond me.
Dave’s brisket house rocks. There is also a great home and garden store between Bedford and Nostrand–that sell gorgeous fresh flowers. Has everyone been collecting petitions and sending them to CHARM to fight the intake center?
No- not sore. Just thinking people say a lot of things without knowing the real story and frankly, I get tired of it- and so should you.
I’m really pleased that there’s more interest in the area. that part of Nostrand is only a couple of blocks from the A and the C, and if you go along Nostrand to the subway from the hotel, you pass by Dave’s which makes incredible, humongous sandwiches so you can take along decent food in case they don’t feed you on the plane 🙂
There is a Best Western right off of the East New York stop right now. I wonder if these hotels work for people who need layover sleep from the airports.
I realize these hotels are right off the LIRR, but Nostrand Ave. is also an A-express stop with service to Kennedy — well within walking distance to Atlantic Ave.
