Finally, New Rentals Next to Barclays Center Begin Their Climb

Old Renderings of 215 Flatbush Avenue by Avinash K. Malhotra Architects

Monday, Mar 13, 2017 By Sandra Herrera

Construction is finally in-progress on the long-delayed 215 Flatbush Avenue, the Prospect Heights site once home to the former Bergen Tile building. Permits were initially filed in 2012 by Lodz Development to erect a 6-story, 53-unit rental structure but that ended up getting shot down for what seems like issues with required parking. Approved 2014 permits show similar plans, but for 8 stories, 64 units and this time, over 100 parking spaces - a must for this neighborhood. Avinash K. Malhotra Architects, known for other Downtown Brooklyn projects such as Bklyn Gold and 2 Gold Street, are the designers of the mixed-use triangular-shaped building which is set for completion in June this year.

The site is, of course, rising right across from the Barclay's Center and the modular rental tower, 461 Dean Street. At 80 feet tall, 215 Flatbush Avenue is nothing special compared to its neighbors, but at least its traditional red-brick facade abstains from the glassy trend of new developments.

The building will host 6,557 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. Amenities will include a laundry room, pantry storage, bike parking, an outdoor terrace and a recreation room on the second floor, and a roof deck. There will be about 8-10 apartments on each floor, starting on the second.
