\"Metropolitan<\/a><\/p>\n

Renderings: Garrison Architects<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve uncovered more information on Charles Blaichman’s Williamsburg residential project at 280 Metropolitan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plans<\/a> were filed for the six-story, 27-unit development between Driggs Avenue and Roebling Street in November 2013, Brownstoner<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The elevator condo building will have retail space on the ground floor, underground parking and a virtual doorman intercom system, with private rooftop terraces in select units, according to the CB Developers site<\/a>. Other amenities will include a gym, common rooftop terrace and rear yard.<\/p>\n

The 34′ by 100′ lot was purchased for $3.13 million in April 2013 by CB Driggs LLC, affiliated with Waterbridge Capital, according to public records. The same LLC also acquired the neighboring 55′ by 136′ lot at 284-290 Metropolitan Avenue for $4.84 million.\u00a0Demolition permits were filed in\u00a0November<\/a>\u00a0for the existing two-story structures on both sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The architect of record for the new development is Garrison Architects, and the firm’s site<\/a> gives us an in-depth view of the design: the industrial-style facade will feature zinc corrugated panels, private balconies along the south wall and a terracotta-clad stair tower. The interiors will have floor-to-ceiling glass, walnut flooring and cabinetry, white marble countertops and lots of natural light. Aluminum brise soleil, or sun shades, over the balconies will prevent overheating during the summer.<\/p>\n

“Each balcony and terrace also incorporates planters and mesh to promote the growth of vertical gardens,” the site says. “The hope is for the south facade to become a lush, living, green extension of the rear yard, with each inhabitant participating.”<\/p>\n
