New High-Rise Going Up Near Bedford Ave L Train Stop

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — Yet another development will rise in Williamsburg in time for the L Train shutdown, city records show.

Developers plan to build a seven-story apartment building with retail space on the first floor at 106 North First St., about five blocks away from the Bedford Avenue L train station, according to Department of Building records.

David West of Hill West Architects and developer DDG Partners filed permits to construct the 75-foot-tall building — which will house 38 apartments, 8,742 square feet of commercial space, 49 parking spaces and a 27-foot long backyard — on Nov. 7 and 8, records show.

The construction is part of a real estate boom in Williamsburg that analysts estimate could bring 20,000 new residents to the area during for the 15-month L train shutdown, slated to begin on April 27, 2019.

This will be DDG's second Brooklyn residential project, according to New York Yimby.
