It has been some time since Williamsburg was thought of as the up-and-coming “it” neighborhood, nevertheless, the north Brooklyn enclave continues to pump out high-end residential development. Towards its north end, close to McCarren Park, a new residential building is taking shape at 256 North 9th Street
.
A recent visit to the site located between Havemeyer and Roebling streets revealed that construction is in full swing at the future six-story, 10-unit apartment building. Steered by the busy firm of Investmates , the development will appear to offer condos, which will likely average in the high-six and low-seven-figure price tags given the neighborhood’s median condo price of $1.395 million.

Murat Mutlu’s INOA Architecture, a frequent partner of Investmates, produced a crisp facade with an austere yet delicate white grid that frames floor-to-ceiling windows and glass-railed loggias. The building will offer an elevator, nine-foot ceilings (ten feet at the penthouse) and a shared roof deck 60 feet above the sidewalk. Each of the two rear yards will come with landscaping, a patio, a grill, and a swimming pool, according to documents filed with the Department of Buildings.

Construction has reached street level as of New Year's Eve 2020
The 77-foot-tall building replaces a motley handful of parking garages and fenced-in ground lots, certainly characterful in their own way but vastly wasteful of prime urban space in a centrally-located, transit-rich part of the city (the Bedford Avenue station of the L train sits two blocks to the west and offers one-stop access to Manhattan). The building fits neatly next to the dark-tiled, five-story condo at 258 North 9th Street and the six-story, 20-unit 260N9 a door further west. The sprawling Atelier rental across the street further rounds off the block as a quiet residential enclave that offers a break from Williamsburg’s lively hubbub.
Our update comes on the heels of CityRealty’s coverage of 888 Lorimer Street two days ago, where leasing has launched for boutique rentals facing McCarren Park and the skyline.
