28-Story Tower To Rise in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay

The south Brooklyn neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay is about to have its own tall tower. Renderings for the 28-story development on 1501 Voorhies Avenue have just been revealed, highlighting the building's huge height gap amongst the vicinity's existing structures.

The 333-foot tower will house both rental and condo units. Asking prices for condo units are said to start in the $700,000 range. As it turns out, the building will have 250 residential units, which will be placed on over 262,00 square feet of space.

Additionally, the building will also have a few office spaces available on the lower floors, within 13,530 square feet. 1501 Voorhies Avenue is also said to have 176 parking spaces in addition to outdoor common spaces that will house a few amenities like a pool and a gym.

Although the building is not exactly that tall, the residential development is going to become the tallest amongst Sheepshead Bay. 6sqft reports:

"Last September, it was revealed that a joint venture between Muss Development and AvalonBay would be a 30-story residential tower at 1501 Voorhies Avenue that would be four times taller than almost anything else in the area. Now, here's our first look at the large and rather glassy behemoth designed by Perkins Eastman Architects. According to revised building plans, the tower is two stories shorter than initially filed and has a height of 331 feet, 6 inches to the top of its rooftop mechanical bulkhead."

According to Sheepshead Bites, the building will stand in the 87,500 square foot lot that Muss Development and AvalonBay purchased back in 2014 for $14.5 million, as well as the additional property the former bought on Sheepshead Bay Road and East 16th Street for $4 million.
