A building application was filed yesterday to construct an 8-story, 17-unit residential building at 487-491 Ocean Parkway in Kensington, Brooklyn. The 30-foot-wide site sits midblock on Ocean Parkway between Cortelyou Road and Ditmas Avenue. The LLC, 487 Ocean Parkway Corp. is listed as the property owner and closed on the long-vacant site in September 2014 for $2.36 million.
The applicant of record is Manhattan-based Michael Gadaleta of MG New York Architects. Published on their website is a rendering tied to the address showing a thoroughly modern design that will stand apart from its brick and mortar neighbors. The building will rise flush with the adjacent buildings, have a landscaped entryway and will be faced with full-height glass walls with opposing lines of Juliet balconies. There will be a setback on the seventh floor that will presumably offer the penthouse duplex its own private terrace. Floors two through six will have 3 apartments apiece, and there will be a single duplex on the cellar and ground floors. Amenities are to include a recreation room and a bike room.
