Another Apartment Tower Proposed For BK's Atlantic Avenue: Report

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A 17-story building could be on its way to Atlantic Avenue, just steps from another residential tower planned for the block, according to reports.

Developers have proposed a 17-story mixed-use tower at 1065 Atlantic Ave., found between Franklin and Classon avenues, New York YIMBY first reported.

The tower would include 425 residential units, likely rentals, 51,818 square feet for commercial space and 7,875 square feet of community facility space, according to the outlet. It would also bring a 20-foot-long rear yard, a cellar and 126 enclosed parking spaces to the property, which holds a two-story garage.

The building is the second residential tower proposed on the block this year, and one of several new developments to a rapidly-changing stretch on the Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights border.

The other building proposed on the Classon and Franklin avenues block, which would also be 17-stories, is awaiting its final stage of review with the City Council. That development, found at 1045 Atlantic Ave, requires a zoning change and would bring 426 apartments, 126 of which would be designated as affordable, and a mix of retail and office space.

It would be the first all-electric development in Bed-Stuy in an effort to improve equitable access to reliable energy, according to Totem, the developers.

The community board, borough president and the City Planning Commission have all voted in favor of the 1045 Atlantic Ave. building.
