In late 2016, construction permits were filed to build a 5-unit condo building at 185 Devoe Street in East Williamsburg. The 24-foot wide site is between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street, a short walk from the L’s Graham Avenue subway station. The listed owner is Artem Grushetskiy’s 185 Devoe Street LLC who closed on the site in October 2016 for $1.7 million.

There will be 3,596 square feet of residential zoning area inside with two units on the first floor, a full-floor unit on the second floor, and two units on the third floor — one of them a duplex. There will be accessible rear yards for the ground-floor units and several terraces and balconies above.
