Pretty pictures have finally been released of the Meltzer/Mandl project at 174 Vanderbilt that we’ve been covering for the past couple of months. From the press release:

The complex is made up of two six-story condominium residences on contiguous blocks that share a private, 60-foot landscaped inner courtyard, complete with reflecting pool and outdoor furniture. Sheathed in a complement of clear glass, colored spandrel glass and metal panels, the curved-shaped, mirror image buildings are being built on an impressive 200-foot by 300-foot lot, combining lots at 174 Vanderbilt Avenue and 181 Clermont Avenue. The buildings will feature an aggregate of 73 condominium units, many with setback terraces and balconies, and 38 on-site parking spaces.

Certainly sounds fancy.

  1. Marcy, Clinton Hill was never part of Bed Stuy, unless you’re talking about people who used the name Bed Stuy loosely from the 1960s onwards to cover most of the area. Clinton Hill used to be called “The Hill” in the mid 1800s as the area was developed, Clinton Hill later….

  2. Ack!!! I live directly across the street from this lot on Clermont and have been dreading the pending construction, also trying to find out the details of this. Apparently the owners of the Amory next door don’t want this to be built too high? There’s also a lot on Myrtle and Clermont with some major activity. Anyone know what’s going there? The owner of the local hardware told me that there was rumblings of a Barnes & Noble going there? Probably condos will be the verdict?
