They\u2019re going up, up, up, it\u2019s their moment.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Charney Companies<\/a>, a real estate developer based in Long Island City, Queens, recently filed a new application<\/a> with New York City\u2019s Department of City Planning to expand the size of its condominium project at 95 Rockwell Place<\/a> in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located at the convergence of Fort Greene, Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn and Prospect Heights, 95 Rockwell Place<\/a> was originally intended to be a 182-unit, 45-story condo complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, the new plans show that Charney intends to build a 52-story, 168,000-square-foot development with approximately 240 residential units. An approval is still pending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Should the request be granted, the company agreed to make improvements to the nearby Nevins Street subway station, which services the 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines, according to Crain\u2019s New York Business<\/a>, which first reported Charney\u2019s new filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charney \u2014 which did not immediately respond to Commercial Observer\u2019s request for comment \u2014 started demolition in May 2024 on the five-story building that previously stood on the site. Construction is still ongoing, but the Fogarty Finger<\/a>-designed project was previously estimated to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amenities coming to the condo complex include an in-building spa, a sauna and a steam room, as well as outdoor garden space and a gym. There will also be coworking spaces, a cafe, resident gathering spots with a private kitchen, and a private party space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to bring a much-needed and much-desired product to an area that has more of a neighborhood feel,\u201d Andrew Steiker-Epstein, chief data officer and brokerage president for Charney, told CO last February. \u201cRockwell is a more private street that feels a bit more ingrained into the community, and I think it\u2019s been a long time coming for something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
