Property Description for 68-70 Eldert Street

Ariel Property Advisors presents 68-70 Eldert Street, a 45’ x 100’ development site on the east side of Eldert Street between Bushwick and Evergreen Avenues in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn located within a designated opportunity zone. Currently, there is a one story church on the site that is built out on the entire lot. The foundation and walls of the building are in sound condition allowing a developer to build on top of the existing structure, thus saving on demolition and construction costs for the foundation and first floor of the project. In addition, the property is located one lot away from the corner of Bushwick and Eldert Avenues and the abutting property at 66 Eldert Street is only 20 feet deep. The houses next to 66 Eldert Street all have large backyard spaces. Because of this, the future building will have great light exposure since 80% of the south side and the entire front and back of the property are exposed. R6 zoning (FAR: 2.2) provides approximately 9,900 buildable square feet as-of-right for a residential project. The property is surrounded by a variety of upcoming residential and mixed-use development projects that are driving strong pricing growth. Down the block at 23-27 Eldert Street Cityscape has plans for a 16 unit multifamily building and about a block and a half away on Broadway is a 35,300sf mixed-use development that is under construction and should be completed in mid-2020. 68-70 Eldert Street is located in the up and coming neighborhood of Bushwick. The site is very well situated, just four blocks away from the J train at Halsey Street and a short walk to the L train at Wilson Avenue. In addition, the property is just a block and a half away from the bustling retail located on Broadway which includes shops and stores such as Dunkin Donuts, Angie’s Breakfast Spot, and Rite Aid and just one block further on Macon Street is the Brooklyn Public LibrarySaratoga Branch.

Bushwick | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

As one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York, Bushwick offers a perfect snapshot of just how multicultural the city is. Long-established as an amalgam of cultures and ethnicities, a wave of varying types of immigrants trickled in from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, with Bushwick largely becoming a home to Hispanics of Puerto Rican and Dominican backgrounds by the latter part of the twentieth century. 

With the Bushwick Initiative of the mid-00s that aided in revitalization, it became an attractive area to young professionals and artists. And even now, Bushwick has sustained affordable rent prices where other North Brooklyn counterparts, like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have become more expensive. Priding itself on the weird and the wacky, numerous art collectives thrive in this part of Brooklyn, once famously named the seventh coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue. 

Though it has drawn in many tourists in recent years (there’s even a graffiti tour you can take from the Bushwick Collective), the neighborhood remains very much community-oriented, and has not been subject to quite the same sort of corporate infiltration phenomenon of its nearby Williamsburg environs. 

But yes, of course, Bushwick has come a very long way from its 80s and 90s reputation as being “The Well,” a nickname given to it for its free-flowing and widely available amount of drugs (quantity over quality being the cliche applied here).
