Construction Wrapping Up at 1515 Surf Avenue
Masonry supplier, King Contracting Group NY, has shared updated photos of the facade installation progress at 1515 Surf Avenue; a dual-tower residential project, going up in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. The development consists of a taller, 26-story tower ("Building 1"), and a shorter, 16-story tower ("Building 2"), connected by a parking deck. At this time, the buildings are only missing a few trim pieces here and there. Interior finishing is also in the late stages as the project nears completion.
A little over a year ago, the general contractor, , topped out both Building 1 and Building 2. Since then, King Contracting has installed over 140,000 square feet of custom Glen Gery Brick and 50,000 square feet of EIFS, according to the company's President, Brett Steinberg.
Developed by , the buildings will contain a combined total of apartments. While most of these are to be offered at market-rate prices, 139 units will be dedicated to affordable housing programs.
Tenant amenities will include an outdoor pool, a roof deck, a fitness center, multiple resident lounges and co-working spaces, an indoor basketball court, and a 20,000-square-foot, landscaped outdoor space. In addition to residential space, the buildings will feature square feet of ground floor retail space, as well as an enclosed parking garage, with enough room for vehicles.
Benefitting from its stellar location and situated right in the heart of the action, 1515 Surf Avenue should have no trouble attracting demand. The towers will provide fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean, sitting just a block inland from the beach and the Coney Island Boardwalk. The property is also positioned just across the street from The Thunderbolt roller coaster and Gargiulo’s Restaurant, as well as diagonal from the original (and world-famous) Nathan’s Hot Dogs location.
Designed by , 1515 Surf Avenue stands feet tall and totals square feet altogether. Construction originally kicked off in September of 2021 and work is expected to wrap up in the coming months. It should also be noted that upon completion, the development will become the largest geothermal heated and cooled building in all of NYC.
