Hudson Plans Eight-Story, 170-Unit Building on Nostrand in East Flatbush
Developer Hudson Companies is back in action close to Prospect Park and Brooklyn College with a new building application for an eight-story, 170-unit development at 1295-1299 Nostrand Avenue, first spotted by BuzzBuzz Home. The project near the corner of Nostrand and Clarkson Avenues in East Flatbush is just a few blocks from Hudson’s planned 23-story, 254-unit high-rise at 626 Flatbush in Prospect Lefferts Gardens.
Jonathan Kirschenfeld Architect is designing the building, which will be 145,456 square feet and include 8,388 square feet of ground floor commercial space. The development will also have bike storage, enclosed parking for 85 cars, a gym, yoga room and roof terrace.
The sale hasn’t hit public records yet, but CPEX listed 1295-1299 Nostrand and 306-310 Clarkson for $10,000,000. The four separate lots add up to 36,430 square feet and allow for up to 145,720 buildable square feet, according to the listing.
