506 Washington Avenue: Market Rate Rentals On the Way
While initially rumored to be another PACC project, the 22-unit building at 506 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is in fact a market-rate rental building that should be coming on line in the next few weeks.

While initially rumored to be another PACC project, the 22-unit building at 506 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is in fact a market-rate rental building that should be coming on line in the next few weeks. The building, which has a range of apartment sized from studios to three-bedrooms, has an unfortunate architectural pedigree, having been designed by Bricolage. (Then again, that goes a long way in explaining why the building fails to align with either neighboring facade. And those mono-brow lintels.) We tracked down one of the partners and the agent for the listing and got some info on pricing: Studios will go for $1,700 a month; one-bedrooms for $2,000; three-bedrooms for $2,300 to $2,500. The construction’s basically done but they’re waiting on the myriad inspections that must occur before leasing can begin. “We’re hoping to have everyone in by the end of the Fall,” we were told.

Though I don’t love the look of this building, I’m thankful that at least it isn’t one of those gray and glass monstrosities that seem to be going up all around my beloved Brooklyn. At least it looks somewhat like it might belong there.
It’s an ugly building but renters like the area with rent going up anywhere, they should have no issue and can ask much more for the 3 Bedrooms and more for the balaconies.
i live @ 500 wash 2 doors down and pay $1180 for a 1-bedroom. no frills building with some definite issues (broken elevator! massive crowd out front!), but i’ll deal anytime over paying that price for a 1-br, eps. just next door. does anyone know what the new building across the street is asking?
12:21. I’m not a troll, but I am mistaken. I thought these were the buildings on Washington Between Bergen and St. marks. SOrry, my mistake. I still think these are overpriced.
I live directly across the street from those condos in a spacious 2-BR for which we pay $1700.
What the hell are they thinking?
I use to live on the coner of Fulton and Washington Ave. I could look out my bedroom window and see this building being built. The neighborhood has changed dramatically and as sad as it may be studio apartments and one bedrooms in the area are going for at least $1000-$1200. The traffic is pretty heavy on Washington Avenue and Fulton Street. Since the construction on Fulton St. began traffic has been a little light. Should the area command such high rents? “NO”, but it does and if you want to live in Clinton Hill you have to pay these prices.
do you ever check your facts? bricolage was superceded by another architect 1 1/2 years ago.
