An exciting new development has emerged at 918 Atlantic Avenue, a proposed 16-story residential building positioned at the intersection of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights in Brooklyn. This impressive project, designed by the architectural firm Fogarty Finger and spearheaded by EMP Capital Group, is set to reach a height of 184 feet and cover an area of 71,572 square feet. It will consist of 99 rental units, each averaging around 722 square feet, catering to a diverse range of residents. Additionally, the building will feature 3,132 square feet allocated for commercial use, a basement level, and two inviting rooftop terraces. Interestingly, this property is also referred to as 563 Washington Avenue, emphasizing its strategic location where Atlantic and Washington Avenues converge.
The visually striking rendering showcases the eastern view along Atlantic Avenue, highlighting the building's sleek rectangular shape. Notably, there is a unique setback that gracefully wraps around the northwest corner starting from the 13th floor, while a partially covered loggia terrace can be seen atop the 16th floor. The facade is designed with a modern aesthetic, incorporating a grid of sculpted white panels that beautifully frame expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows, complete with elegantly curved designs at the building's northwest corner.
Currently, this site is occupied by several low-rise commercial buildings, as depicted in the accompanying Google Street View image.
In a significant commitment to community needs, 25% of the residential units will be designated as affordable housing, aimed at individuals earning approximately 60% of the area median income (AMI), which translates to about $87,000 for a family of three.
While specifics regarding residential amenities are still pending announcement, it’s worth noting that the nearest subway access is provided by the C train at the Clinton–Washington Avenues station, enhancing connectivity for future residents.
Looking ahead, the developer plans to kick off construction at 918 Atlantic Avenue in the upcoming spring, with the goal of completing the project by mid-2027.
