Project: 1720 Atlantic Avenue

New renderings have been revealed for 1720 Atlantic Avenue, a 13-story mixed-use development on the northern border of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by IMC Architecture and developed by Bermuda Realty, the 360,000-square-foot project will yield 278 rental units, with 70 dedicated to affordable housing. The complex will also include 50,427 square feet of commercial space and 17,421 square feet for community facilities. The 48,300-square-foot property is bounded by Atlantic Avenue to the north, Michael Griffith Street to the south, and Schenectady Avenue to the east.

The renderings preview a sprawling superstructure with a multifaceted massing incorporating a mix of envelope materials. The lower levels will be clad in red brick, with floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the first two stories for the retail space. Above, the brick façade will bevel inward around a grid of loggia balconies across the entire fenestration. A series of stepped setbacks between the fifth and eighth floors will create additional space for terraces, behind which will rise a rectangular volume with a gray metal façade. The final levels are shown positioned at the northeast corner and will feature the same gray cladding framing more expansive floor-to-ceiling glass.

IMC Architecture’s website describes the development as consisting of two buildings, despite the unified appearance in the renderings.
