In Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood, a modern five-floor rental building developed by Greystone Development and designed by AB Architekten is wrapping up construction. The ground-up building at 531 Myrtle Avenue replaces a White Castle fast-food restaurant and is located near Pratt Institute's main campus, along the neighborhood's revived retail corridor. Also nearby is the forthcoming
Myrtle Avenue Pedestrian Plaza. The residential project topped off earlier this year and is currently enclosed in a sleek facade of metal panels and expansive windows, many of which are operable.
The development is more than 35,000 square feet and includes 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, with 27 light-filled rental apartments located above. Anticipated amenities include bike storage, a fitness center, and an interior courtyard. Within walking distance is the Brooklyn Navy Yard and multiple lines of public transportation to shuttle residents to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Residential leasing is expected to being later this fall with Citi Habitats leading the efforts.
