Project: 1100 Myrtle Avenue

Pre-construction is now underway at 1100 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and renderings offer a first look at the project. The new building will rise from an assemblage of neighboring lots with frontage along Myrtle and Lewis Avenues. The 11-story structure will comprise 250,000 square feet with 224 apartments and 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. At these lower levels, the façade is comprised of floor-to-ceiling glass that transitions to a red brick enclosure.

The massing of the building above the fifth floor is slightly set back to make space for what appears to be a large terrace level. While additional outdoor space could be constructed at the roof of the structure, it remains unclear from the preliminary renderings.

At this time, it is also not clear which development agency is responsible for the new project or the architect responsible for the preliminary design. M&R Construction Group is the general contractor in charge for pre-construction.
