Happy Living?

NY YIMBY reports on plans filed for a new building at 227-231 9th Street.

Brooklyn-based Happy Living Development has filed applications for a seven-story, 24-unit residential project at 229 Ninth Street, in Gowanus. The project will measure 31,423 square feet and rise 80 feet above street level. Its residential units, located across the ground through seventh floors, plus a penthouse level, should average 901 square feet apiece, which means either condominiums or rentals could be in the works. There will also be a 10-car parking garage in the cellar. De-Jan Lu’s Greenwich Village-based firm is the architect of record.

According to plans filed, there are will be no inclusionary housing units. A year ago we noticed a lot of development activity on this block, including Marcus & Millichap's marketing of 227-279 as a development package, at a price of $4,800,000. Now we see that 231, an attached frame rowhouse, is part of the Happy plan.
