The conversion of the Franklin Trust building at 166 Montague in Brooklyn Heights is well underway but is not close enough to completion for the project’s website to have any information. All we know at this point is that the 10-story landmarked building will ultimately contain 24 residential units along with a health spa and a part-time doorman; Elliman will have the exclusive. The Real Deal reported last summer that one-bedrooms will be about 800 square feet, the two-bedrooms 1,250 square feet and the three-bedrooms 1,600 square feet. Sales are expected to start in the late spring or early summer. You gotta think they’re going to at least try for $1,100 or $1,200 a foot for some of the nicest units.

The high-rise plan was nixed, 5:16. I don’t have the link, but it was in the news at the time.

I like pancakes, Brooklyn Heights and this building.
Ha! IHOP!
I would say most folks in Brooklyn Heights do not even know what that is.
The thing is this: when it comes to rich folks, the stereotypes are sort of true.
They tend to be well educated, they tend to be workaholics, they tend not to eat pancakes as part of their normal diet, and they love Brooklyn Heights. So go figure.
Speakng of hotcakes, I’m gonna check out the IHOP. Plenty of really affluent people love the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity combo.
Plenty of really affluent folks love Brooklyn Heights, these apartments will go like hot cakes.

I’m curious to what you’re referring to? Do you have a link?
Residents can also enjoy the years of construction that will come from the building of a high-rise across the street on top of the Rite Aid
I work right around the corner from this building. Although it technically is Brooklyn Heights, it’s in one of the worst areas of the neighborhood. Previous poster is right about the noise and the constant stream of cabs honking up Clinton Street. Not to mention it’s only a block away from Court Street, which in this area of town can be a bit desolate and sketchy once the sun sets. It’s not a residential location at all and the M/R train lets out on the same corner, just steps from the building entrance. There are roaches in the Lychee Nut restaurant next door and the employees there hang out behind the building and are constantly banging things and yelling. Not to mention the homeless man who sits by the M/R entrance each day, who is benign enough, but does the developer plan on finding accommodations for him so his “unsightly” presence doesn’t upset the residents’ views from their luxury windows?
I can’t ever imagine wanting to live in this location. Brooklyn Heights, as a general rule, is quite lovely. But on this corner? No way.
