CROWN HEIGHTS—One of the first luxury, full-service condo buildings in Crown Heights—111 Montgomery Street between Franklin and Washington avenues —is almost finished after starting sales in May. Located on a site formerly owned by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the building is being developed as-of-right by CIM Group and LIVWRK, and is near to two large developments that have caused much controversy in the neighborhood.
111 Montgomery is a 12-story, 162 unit residential development designed by Fisher+Makooi Architects. The building offers 69 below-grade parking spaces, a terrace, bike storage space, a gym and a community garden. The upper floors, 9 through 12, on the western and southern sides of the building, offer views of the garden, according to the sales team. Located on a site formerly owned by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the building is being developed as-of-right by CIM Group and LIVWRK, and is near to two large developments that have caused much controversy in the neighborhood. The interior is modern, minimalist with neutral colors while, like many newly constructed buildings in the city, the exterior has oversized windows. Residences should be ready for move in at the beginning of 2020, says Christine Blackburn, sales director at real estate brokerage firm Compass. 111 Montgomery contains studios, as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom condos and their prices range from $500,000 to $1.8 million, depending on the size of the unit and how high it’s situated in the building. Most buyers are moving from neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Downtown Brooklyn, Blackburn said.
