A reader recently pointed us to a rendering of the townhouse development that is under construction on State Street between Smith and Hoyt. According to the website for Rogers Marvel Architects, 25 to 27 single-family townhouses are being built as part of a mixed-use master plan for the block. The first phase will see the construction of 14 market-rate, 3,200-square-foot houses. We infer that at least some of the remaining 11 to 13 houses will be for lower-income residents. From the rendering, it looks like the exteriors of these places will be tastefully done, though it’s hard to see much detail. If anyone in the nabe can snap a photo of the site in progress for us, we’d certainly appreciate it. Our tipster also notes that across the street on Hoyt there is an 8-story, 158-unit building called the State Renaissance on the rise. Thanks, JN!

  1. I am under the impression that BAM has been in talks with St. Anns for years. why wouldn’t they want to collaborate? Bam is going to have too many stages now for its own use. I think that the head of st ann’s doesn’t like to share and is the main problem. I think it is wrong-headed to stay in dumbo. that park is too tiny to have a theater in it.

  2. I assume they would share space with BAM. The Harvey or the new Fisher Theater under construction. It would make more financial sense to share costs than to take on the care and maintenance of a theater building themselves. For fans in Manhattan, this is a much more accessible location than DUMBO. Almost all the subway line converge at Atlantic Ave, plus the LIRR. It would seem to be a no-brainer.
