BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — As Bed-Stuy’s busy stretch of Tompkins Avenue attracts a slew of new businesses, residential development is also underway along the thoroughfare.

A six-story, 10-unit apartment building is set to rise near the corner of Willoughby Avenue, complete with enclosed parking on the first floor and bike storage, according to Department of Buildings filings.

Further down the block at 183 Tompkins Ave., a similar building with room for retail is planned from architect Charles Mallea.

Mallea is also designing a 35-unit residence on the avenue from Vasco Ventures dubbed “Hancock Manor,” along with a larger 44-unit project on the corner of Halsey Street that replaces the old Weinstein hardware store.

157 Tompkins Ave.

A new rendering for this six-story building was recently revealed, showcasing street-facing balconies and a first-floor garage. The building will have nearly 12,000 square feet of space for 10 apartments, as well as two indoor parking spaces and a rooftop for recreational space, according to permits filed.

New York YIMBY first reported news of the building’s design.

183 Tompkins Ave.

Construction has already begun on this six-story, mixed-use building from architect Charles Mallea. The first floor features 476 square feet of retail space, and renderings at the construction site near Pulaski Street show terraces on the second through sixth floors.

253 Tompkins Ave.

Located a few blocks away from the Bedford-Nostrand G train station and Herbert Von King Park, 11 new apartments are set to rise at the site.

The six-story building will replace a three-story brick house. The plan exam for the new structure was rejected in late August, according to DOB filings. Agency representatives did not immediately respond to request for comment.

281-291 Tompkins Ave.

A former two-story brick building that housed a fast-food joint, pizza shop and 10 apartments will be expanded to a four-floor structure with 31 units.

The top floor will have private roof terraces, according to DOB permits, and architect Nataliya Donskoy will design the new building.

290 Tompkins Ave.

Across the street, a six-story, 14-apartment residence is planned, with permits calling for a laundry room, storage for seven bikes, as well as indoor and outdoor parking.

410 Tompkins Ave.

Architect Charles Mallea is designing a residential project dubbed “Hancock Manor,” according to permits filed and real estate market reports. Developer Vasco Ventures is bringing 35 units to the corner of Hancock Street.

Demolition of the existing buildings on the lot is underway. In early June, the front roof of a property on the site collapsed after a frame of the second floor’s exterior wall gave way, according to the DOB.

The apartments will span across 23,974 square feet, and there will be room for 18 indoor parking spaces, according to DOB records.

420 Tompkins Ave.

On the same block, the former Weinstein hardware store was demolished to make room for another Charles Mallea project.

The architect is designing a six-story, 44-unit residence with bike storage. Developers picked up the property for $1.065 million in 2006, according to city records.

A partial stop work order currently exists on the site, according to DOB records. In early August, complaints were filed regarding weatherproofing and after a construction worker fell 30 feet to the ground, suffering severe injuries.

467 Tompkins Ave.

Applications were filed for eight new apartments in a four-story structure between Macon and Macdonough streets.

The plan exam was disapproved in March, according to the DOB. Agency representatives did not immediately respond to request for comment.
