Curbed
Despite the proliferation of new developments going up in Boerum Hill (and not to mention the boom in nearby Downtown Brooklyn), apparently the neighborhood is “underdeveloped” residentially. So says Stephen G. Kliegerman, the president of Halstead, which is working on sales for the Hendrik, a six-story, 33-unit condo at the corner of Pacific and Atlantic Streets. The development, which is rising on the site of a former Walgreen’s, recently launched sales, and is the subject of a profile in the Times real estate section this weekend.
But the building is targeting a very specific audience: families. According to Jeffrey Gershon, one of the principals at developer Hopestreet, the building is seen as “somewhere to live when they’re shut out of the townhouse market.” (Oh, sure, okay.) Accordingly, the apartments will be pretty big; the smallest is a two-bedroom unit, and the largest will measure more than 2,000 square feet. Amenities include a gym, children’s playroom, roof terrace, and the inevitable dog-washing station.
