At 200 Linden Boulevard in Flatbush, a 69-unit rental building is rising from a large five-parcel site between Rogers and Nostrand avenues. Designed by J. Frankl Associates with Charles Mallea as the architect of record, the 8-floor building will be clad in red brick and will be distinguished by a seemingly random pattern of floor-to-ceiling windows.
The building rises in place of two single-family brick homes and an ornate mansion the developer purchased for a total of $6 million according to the Brooklyn real estate blog, Brownstoner. The developer, listed as Barry Farkas, spun off a portion of the mansion site where another developer is building a 22-unit residential development at 212 Linden Boulevard.
200 Linden Blvd. features a square, doughnut-shaped plan that provides for a narrow central courtyard. As per the filed permits, the building’s typical floorplates will accommodate between 9 and 10 units per floor. There will be a day care center for 64 children on the ground floor and an attended parking garage for 35 vehicles in the cellar. The building is few blocks from the Church Avenue station for the 2 and 5 trains. Occupancy should be expected late 2017.
