First public hearing for Williamsburg office project 25 Kent Ave.
Welcome to 12½ Street.
The design for a new office and light-industrial development that Toby Moskovits’ firm Heritage Equity Partners plans to construct at 25 Kent Ave. has a cobblestone street running right through the middle of it.
People working on the Williamsburg project call the proposed pedestrian-only roadway 12½ Street, Rick Parisi of landscape architecture firm MPFP said at a Community Board 1 public hearing on Tuesday night.
The road, which would be lined by shops, would run parallel to the N. 12th Street and N. 13th Street boundaries of the full-block property — hence its nickname. The other boundaries are Kent and Wythe avenues.
