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? GMAP DOB
lol, bxgrl is sore! Enjoy your hotel.
No, moreteasir, it’s not. An you should remember that CHN has managed to get landmark status even with the armory,shelters and group homes. It’s a great neighborhood because so many residents worked so hard to make it that way. No one is claiming it’s perfect, by any stretch, but too many people comment on it without knowing much about it. We’re glad you’re across Eastern Parkway too. See? Everyone’s happy.
I used to like that live chicken place…..
I’m sure glad I’m across Eastern Parkway….northern crown heights is becoming a dumping ground.
Just great! What else are they going to dump in Crown Heights?
there is a station right there and it’s true- hotels were built near train stations at one time. remember the Judy Garland movie, The Harvey Girls? Not that I expect this will be quite so wonderful but I am happy its a beginning of good things to come in the area. With the first phase of landmarking done, CHN is getting better every day. I’ve also heard that a condo building may be going up behind the hotel on the Pacific St. side.
the intake center is a problem but the community is fighting it and working with other organizations so its far from a done deal.
Just what is the perfect number of blocks from the armory? Is 10 far enough? Or maybe 13,- 25. Whatever. You act as if the people from the shelter don’t have feet. They can walk to anywhere. Also, since most of you on this site seem to think that no one in the Crown Heights area has any money, would’nt it make sense that the shelter residents would go to a more wealthy area to look for day work and beg for money? I don’t get it 2 blocks away and property sucks. 6 blocks away and suddenly you should pay 600k for an apt. or a mill plus for a home.
Yes, the LIRR has a stop there 10:42
