Development Watch: The Clermont
When we last checked in with the BRP Development project at the corner of Myrtle and Clermont in Fort Greene, we were working with an early rendering that didn’t give a great feel for what the end product would look like.

When we last checked in with the BRP Development project at the corner of Myrtle and Clermont in Fort Greene, we were working with an early rendering that didn’t give a great feel for what the end product would look like. Now that the construction is humming along and there’s a better rendering, we thought it worth a revisit. While this project may not win the Pritzker, it gets big points for be a contextual, well-balanced design of, we’re guessing, limestone and brick. The apartment windows are nicely sized, as are those on the retail level. The company’s website also points out that the streetwall lines up with the adjacent building on Myrtle. And while Myrtle Avenue has certainly made huge strides in recent years, it’s not surprising that the developers decided to emphasize the other street it sits on in naming the building The Clermont.

New Development at Myrtle and Clermont Avenues [Brownstoner]
Are there any starbucks in that street yet?
So far this building is looking very nice, and I just passed it this morning on my way to the park. Also Myrtle Ave is really looking great these days.
I thing ‘luxury’ development has reach all the way to those housing project on Nostrand Ave.
i would say 10 minutes to the G. I feel like this building is in a decent spot with restaurants and groceries etc.
right on the bus line that takes you to the Q and other trains in about 10 minutes. I agree with stoner- no pritzker prize, but better than what is there for sure.
The B54 bus goes down Myrtle and can be taken to the A/C/F at Jay Street– not a bad way to get into Manhattan (it’s also about a 15 minute walk to the Jay Street trains– not the most scenic way to go, but sometimes actually faster than waiting for the bus).
I grew up in eastern Queens and spent my early life waiting for buses in all kinds of weather. We also had an elevated subway where the stations were exposed to the elements. When I moved to Manhattan and then Brooklyn I never wanted to ride another bus and have been pretty successful in meeting that goal.
i live a block away on vanderbilt and it takes me 10 minutes to [er… briskly] walk from the clinton/washington G train stop. The Lafayette C train might actually be just as close to The Clermont. I often take buses, like most real brooklyn residents, and I have to say they’re not all that bad, despite what I suspect is the predominating distaste amongst the demographic of this website.
Maybe cuz the residential entrance is on Clermont. Geez. Another assumption gone wrong.
Curious on two points; maybe some readers can enlighten me:
(1) how far is this place from the subway?
(2) how far up Myrtle (heading towards Bed-Stuy) is the “revitalization” expected to extend?
