1683 Union Street

This 20-foot-wide vacant lot sits on a pleasant residential block near the fine retail shops and restaurants of Eastern Parkway and Utica Avenue. With convenient access to the 2, 3, and 4 trains, residents can reach Manhattan in about 15 minutes and downtown Brooklyn in just 10. The B46 bus also serves the area, connecting to East Flatbush and Kings Plaza. Zoned for residential use, the property offers flexibility to build a single-, two-, or three-family home. It allows for a front yard suitable for greenery or on-site parking, an attic space of up to 20% under a pitched roof, and the option to duplex the basement with the first floor for added living area. With 2,700 square feet of buildable space plus an additional 2,540 square feet from the attic and basement, the total potential reaches approximately 5,240 square feet. Located in a rapidly developing neighborhood, this property presents an exceptional opportunity. Once completed, the units are expected to attract strong demand from young professionals and artists who appreciate Crown Heights’ proximity to Manhattan, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Williamsburg—making it an ideal project for developers.
