Q3-Q4 Brooklyn New Development Report

After years of high demand and low inventory, developers are back, scrambling to build on every parcel of land available to them. I have drafted this New Development Report to chronicle all new condo and townhouse projects in the pipeline in the neighborhoods in and around what is commonly referred to as "Brownstone Brooklyn" (Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Prospect Heights and Park Slope). I will include new developments in Greenpoint, Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens as they become available. I have combed through every resource I can find to keep the Report current. If you hear of something I have missed or would like more information about any of the developments planned or ongoing, let me know and I will comment on what I know.

I am loving this building!

Curbed released a few more photos of the new Thomas Leeser-designed 200-room hotel known for now as 95 Rockwell Place (Lafayette and Rockwell), slated to open in early 2015. Says Brownstoner, the 30-story building will feature an exterior with “a sliced facade featuring crevice-like cutouts.” Carrying with that theme, the hotel rooms will be unique and angular, outfitted with artwork from local artists. The entire landscape of our immediate neighborhood is on the verge of major change with the Enrique Norte-designed behemoth at the corner of Ashland and Lafayette, and with another architecturally-significant building across the street. Love it!
