Carter's Review

This attractive, 5-story mixed-use building at 968 60^th Street in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn is also bounded by Fort Hamilton Parkway and 61^st Street.  It is known as The Hamilton.

It opened in 2016 and was erected by Halcyon Management, of which Lipa Friedman is a principal, and was designed by Karl Fisher.

It has 92 apartments and retail on the ground floor.

The developers got a variance to convert the handsome, three-story, red-brick factory formerly on the site in 2005 to residential use and according to March 15, 2016 article by Rebecca Baird-Remba at newyorkyimby.com demolished most of the factory and built the new structure on its foundations.

It is close to the Leif Erickson Park.
