A new mixed-use complex featuring a Lidl grocery store and 57 apartments is nearing completion at Bedford Avenue and Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights. The four-story building will provide an affordable grocery option in an underserved area, while the seven-story apartment structure is still under construction. The site replaces a historic Art Deco service station and aims to meet community needs without exceeding height constraints, utilizing the city's Quality Housing Program to maximize density responsibly. 18 of the 57 apartments will be classified as affordable, though pricing details remain undisclosed.
The new development will bring an affordable grocery store to an area currently lacking in options, along with 57 new apartments, 18 of which will be considered affordable.
The structure's massing has been updated, and plans no longer call for two more stories with a setback at the corner, resulting in a more modern design.
The building's design has now come out better than initially rendered, standing as a contemporary addition to the neighborhood while preserving the community's character.
Using the city's Quality Housing Program enables the project to maintain lower heights while still maximizing density and providing essential community resources.
