101 Bogart Street (J. Frankl / CityRealty)
The steel beams of a new hotel and community facilty planned at 101 Bogart Street now pierce above Bushwick’s low-slung skyline. Rising from an industrial, art-infused corner of the neighborhood, the mixed-use building will accommodate religious spaces on the first floor and 42 hotel rooms above.
Jacob Polatsek of Sunshine Construction is listed as the developer on building permits filed back in 2012. Per the floor schedule, there will be between 6 and 10 hotel rooms per floor and the cellar will have a lounge and café. The ground floor will have a house of worship, conference room, lecture room, library, and offices.
101 Bogart Street "brick lattice" base (J Frankl)
The building will top out at 92 feet tall — well above the 2- to 4-floor warehouse buildings that dominate the area. J Frankl are the architects and say, “the Bogart project strives to marry the sophistication and opulence called for by its program and the raw industrial surrounds.” The exterior is composed of floor-to-ceiling windows, steel, and a porous brick façade. The “brick lattice” mimics the materiality and a tone of the neighborhood while softening the harshness of the brick, say the architects.
The project rises directly across from the nearly-finished 100 Bogart Street, which is envisioned as a collaborative coworking community that will feature a vibrant mix of retailers, artist studios, creative offices, pop up gallery space, meeting rooms, parking, and a publicly accessible rooftop with views of the Manhattan skyline. The project is also just north of one-block development site once marketed to be a “grittier version of Chelsea Market.”
