Development Watch: Avalon Myrtle in High Gear
Construction has really kicked into high gear over at the Avalon Bay project at 159 Myrtle Avenue. When we checked in on the 650-unit building at the end of November, four stories were up; now they’re up to 16 stories. That more than one story per week!

fine, fine… how about a bodega and a 99 cent store?
….uhh…Onevalianteffort, don’t hold your breath on that one
When’s wholefoods and the apple store going to open up?!
Thanks for the welcome, 11217. After I move to BK I’ll have lived in every borough except SI (maybe I’ll retire there) and I look forward to the downtown BK renaissance as well as the surrounding neighborhoods.
Junkman, I’ll see you at Noodle Pudding!
Creature,
I’ve been in the neighborhood for ages. I’ll give you the lowdown on the best restaurants. My wife and I don’t cook so I have had ample opportunity to visit them all.
My local hangout in Brooklyn Heights, for the best italian food around, is Noodle Pudding on Henry between Cranberry and Middaugh.
Welcome to Brooklyn, Creature.
I hope you love it. Hold out till spring…it’s a TOTALLY different place. You are surrounded by interesting and thriving neighborhoods. And you’re living in one which is in the midst of a pretty spectacular renaissance.
“it’s close to the city, LES, etc.. they will have to price it right, but many will leave a crap hole walk up for a nice place.”
I, not a frat boy by any means, but a 41 year old professional/writer, will be leaving a crap hole walk up in the East Village for a nice place in downtown Brooklyn. It was time to move on from the EV and once that decision was made, downtown BK became the best option. Trains up the wazoo and four or five great neighborhoods all around. I look forward to being one of the new 5,000.
Well, some people live there. The University Towers Co-ops are not far away on Willoughby St; as someone who recently moved in there, I’m hopeful the influx of residents helps with the retail/commercial activity in the area outside of 9-5 hours…..
i’m with corey & winelover on this one — life on the streets is always a good thing.
