A Bed-Stuy residential project at 514 Halsey Street hopes to fill in a gap in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District. Tomorrow, the Landmark Preservation Commission will weigh in on the scheme’s exterior design and massing that has been shaped by Kane Architecture & Urban Design (Kane A|UD).
Per city records and building permits, the developer is Princeton-based Romel Salam who acquired the site in 2015. The project is located midblock between Stuyvesant and Lewis Avenue, not far from the A and C lines Utica Avenue subway station. The vacant lot was previously occupied by a Neo-Grec-style townhouse that was finished in 1890 and demolished in the 1960s.

Presentation materials show the new building will have a contemporary design clad in red brick and brownstone-colored panels. A black metal cornice will top the 3rd floor, and the 4th floor will setback from the streetwall. The block is dominated by 2- and 3-floor buildings which may be a sticking point to some commissioners. The building would stand 50 feet high and have 3 floor-through units. From the outside, the project reads as 5-floor building due to a double-height second floor that has a mezzanine bedroom level.
