A new building application was filed this past Wednesday, calling for a new five story building to rise on a vacant lot at 491 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill.  The site, between Hall and Ryerson Street, has sat vacant for the past five years after it was demolished due to the collapse of a neighboring building at 493 Myrtle Avenue in 2009.

The mixed-use building will house six residences on the upper floors, and a 1,250 square foot commercial space on the ground floor.  According to the new building application, Issac and Stern Architects will be leading the design.  They are currently working on several other projects throughout north Brooklyn, according to their web site.  Renderings for 491 Myrtle Avenue have not yet been released.

The new building will only span the 20-foot wide vacant lot at 491 Myrtle Avenue, leaving two adjoining vacant lots untouched.  No plans have been announced for the redevelopment of these sites.
