Just What Will Infinity Properties' E. 18th St. Building Look Like?

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — The future facade of a new residential rental building on East 18th Street remains an apparent mystery, even though the building is just months away from completion.

This week, New York Yimby published a rendering of the seven story structure, under construction 625 East 18th St., showing a gray-colored, modern design with partially-concealed windows down its middle.

Yimby commented that "The building does not line up with the neighboring 1960s apartment complexes, which are set back several feet from the street, and the boxy, gray design doesn’t fit in with the seven-story brick buildings next door."

That rendering is aesthetically different from the one currently displayed at the construction site itself, which shows a red building with unobstructed central windows. Both renderings featured five units facing East 18th St., each with a balcony.

But Amnon Chacham, a developer with Infinity Properties, which is behind the project, told Patch this week that Yimby's rendering isn't the final one. Chacham said he'd be willing to share the building's ultimate look, but was waiting to get an updated version of that document from an associate.

In the meantime, Chacham confirmed that the building will feature 12 units, all of which will be rental. The top floor will be a penthouse, and all units will have a balcony. The building will have one, two and three bedroom apartments, with prices starting around $870 or $900 per month. There will also be a shared roof deck, a laundry room, a recreation room, and storage space.

Chacham said he's aiming to open the doors four to five months from now.
