Mettle Property and JMH Development Group

Since the beloved Brooklyn Heights Cinema at 70 Henry Street shut down, the highly anticipated apartments that have taken its place have finally hit the market, and several photos have been revealed of the new development.

Arbie Development is bringing a new development to Park Slope—an eight story condominium building on the corner of Butler Street and Fourth Avenue.

March was a big month for new developments, and with New York City’s population reaching an all time high, these new building are going to come at the right time. New Yorkers have been talking about these especially notable developments: 100 Varick Street, 10 Jay Street, and The Dumbo Waterfront.

Until just a few years ago, Manhattanites would scoff at the notion of culture in Brooklyn. After all, how could Brooklyn compete with epicenters of artistic expression like the Lincoln Center, the MOMA, and the New York City Ballet? There seemed to be no reason to brave the subway system when some of the best performances and exhibitions in the world took place right on the island.

Brownstones are an indelible feature of New York City’s distinct architectural landscape. New York City has the largest compilation of brownstones in the United States—by far. They are the primary residential units in Bedford Stuyvesant and the Upper West Side. Harlem, Queens, and the Bronx also host a swath of the iconic homes. Brooklyn, in particular, is defined by its brownstones. They line the streets of Fort Greene, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, and Cobble Hill, and are scattered in bundles from Greenpoint to Red Hook. Many of these brownstones are now the most desirable (and expensive) properties in the borough.
