"The plan, designed by IMC Architecture for Bermuda Realty, is presented as roughly a 360,000-square-foot project that would deliver 278 rental apartments, including 70 income-restricted units. The scheme also calls for about 50,427 square feet of commercial space and 17,421 square feet of community use, according to New York YIMBY."
"The renderings show a multi-volume massing with red-brick lower floors, loggia-style balconies and stepped terraces tucked behind setbacks. IMC Architecture describes the complex as two connected buildings and highlights masonry facades, glazed storefronts and layered terraces as deliberate moves to break down the tower's perceived size on surrounding blocks."
"The rezoning that unlocked this scale for 1720 Atlantic Avenue wrapped up in late 2025. The Department of City Planning lists the action as adopted on December 4, 2025, and the official posting outlines the new zoning framework for the site."
A proposed 13-story mixed-use development at 1720 Atlantic Avenue will transform a low-slung strip mall in Crown Heights into a 360,000-square-foot complex. Designed by IMC Architecture for Bermuda Realty, the project includes 278 rental apartments with 70 income-restricted units, approximately 50,427 square feet of commercial space, and 17,421 square feet of community use. The design features red-brick lower floors, loggia-style balconies, and stepped terraces intended to reduce the tower's visual impact. The rezoning was adopted in December 2025, with formal entitlements granted through City Council file LU 0423-2025, allowing the project to advance from design renderings toward permitting and construction.
