Foundations are underway at 757 Flatbush Avenue, the site of an eight-story residential building in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Designed by Morali Architecture and developed by New Empire Corp., the 82-foot-tall structure will span 140,000 square feet and yield 131 units. The project will also include ground-floor retail space with 125 feet of frontage. The 40,000-square-foot interior lot is located between Clarkson Avenue and Lenox Road.
Crews are in the process of forming portions of the concrete perimeter walls as excavation continues on the rear eastern end of the parcel. A large assembly of steel rebar protrudes around the middle of the property at the location of the forthcoming columns and walls. Based on the pace of progress, the building could begin to rise above street level before the end of winter and top out around the middle of the year.

The renderings depict the main western elevation with a straightforward massing featuring a pair of stepped setbacks topped with private terraces. The building will culminate in a flat roof lined with glass railings and covered with a metal-framed canopy. The façade is shown composed of white paneling in a square grid surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows in two-story groupings. The northern lot line wall will be left mostly blank.
