Williamsburg proposal would bring 35 homes to Havemeyer Street
The design includes an affordable-housing component, but neither its size nor a construction timetable has been announced.
A former garden-center site at 87 Havemeyer Street is slated for a seven-story apartment building. The property sits between Metropolitan Avenue and Hope Street, where the Chelsea Garden Center nursery once operated.
The proposal calls for 35 apartments, with some designated affordable. Renderings show light-colored brick, balconies and upper-level terraces.
Planned amenities include a fitness center, coworking space, a rooftop lounge and outdoor terrace, plus bicycle storage. The affordable-unit count remains unspecified, and there is no announced construction schedule.
