756 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn New York

Creating a neighborhood synergy requires a project of a size and substance that can jump-start the resurgence of an area into a sought-after community location.

Located at the crossroads of the Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill neighborhoods, this prominent site was home to a simple one-story garage as a development of the highest and best uses.  The neighbors surrounding the site have made great strides in gentrifying and developing this area into a chic, affordable destination.

As a means to attract buyers, the project has been designed with ceiling heights at ten feet clear, which permitted windows to have over 6’-0” of clear height.  Outdoor common space abounds on the main roof of the 2nd floor over the commercial space and on every other floor adjacent to the elevator lobbies.  A fitness center on the ground floor, a large parking garage in the cellar, and washer/dryers in each unit provide the buyer with the amenities customary to modern living.

Each apartment boasts large living/dining areas and oversized bedrooms with ample closets.  Wide-plank hardwood floors, marble baths, and kitchens with granite counters for island dining contribute to the extensive amenity package.

A modern design of masonry, stucco, and metal panels creates a door that is both striking and homey.  Projecting bay elements create window seats in certain apartments, and these elements continue as stair bulkheads for top-floor apartments, providing access to their roof gardens.  The development will enhance affordability for first-time condominium buyers by offering reasonably priced units with a range of amenities.
