DOB Approves 8-Story Rental Building at Bergen and 3rd
From Brownstoner:
The Department of Buildings approved permits for the future eight-story rental build on the corner of Bergen Street and 3rd Avenue. Unfortunately, the building will feature a streetscape-unfriendly parking lot on the first floor. The 85-unit luxury rental will also have a health club, a resident lounge, a courtyard and roof deck. The warehouse building that previously occupied the site received demolition permits earlier this month and is long gone. It also looks like excavation work has begun. The lot is in Boerum Hill near the Gowanus border.
The street-level parking lot looks a bit too California for me. A new zoning code requires a minimum amount of parking -- but couldn't the architects have made it a little more attractive?
