"The new owners of Crest Hardware's former buildings on Metropolitan Avenue are advancing plans to replace the familiar red structures with a residential tower. City records show developer Green Street has filed a new building permit application for an 11-story, 70-unit apartment building at 554 and 558 Metropolitan Avenue. According to the permit, IMC Architecture designed the 115-foot-tall building, which will include a total of 5,422 square feet of space."
"Renderings shared by Green Street principal Joshua Greenberg show a facade broken into three staggered vertical sections that help break up the building's width. The outer sections are finished in white paneling, while the center section is clad in brown. The easternmost sections step back at the eighth floor. Large, symmetrical windows run across the facade. At the rear, the yard is shown landscaped with paving, grassy areas, and plantings."
"Greenberg told Brooklyn Paper's sister site Brownstoner that the long-term plan is to replace the existing structures at 536 and 546 Metropolitan Avenue with new residential buildings and connect all of the properties through the rear yard "so that they can share some of the amenities like the pickle ball court, dog run, and landscaped walking area." "It will be something really unique and special having all the properties connected at the back and the larger private, park-like outdoor area," he said."
A building permit application has been filed for an 11-story, 70-unit apartment building at 554 and 558 Metropolitan Avenue designed by IMC Architecture. The proposed structure will rise 115 feet and encompass 5,422 square feet, include a 31.9-foot-deep rear yard, and provide no on-site parking. Renderings depict a three-part staggered facade with white outer paneling, a brown center section, eighth-floor setbacks on the eastern end, large symmetrical windows, and a landscaped rear yard with paving, grass, and plantings. Green Street bought multiple adjacent properties in 2024 and plans to connect them to share amenities, with additional work starting in about two years.
