Project Description
Architects Curtis and Ginsberg designed this 16-unit mixed-income condominium on Washington Avenue in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn without government subsidies. 8 of the one- and two- bedroom units wil be sold at market rate to subsidize the other 8, which will be sold by lottery to households earning less than $90,000 for a family of four. The building also features a community rooftop space and energy-efficient design, including an insulated cavity wall, motion detector lights in the hallways and bamboo flooring.
