There will be offices on the first, second and third floors, according to the filings. Retail will occupy part of the first floor and the rooftop, which will house a restaurant. S9 Architecture [TRDataCustom] is the architect of record, and a spokesperson told TRD that the firm is also the design architect.

The property sits a few blocks from the Morgan Avenue L train stop and famed pizzeria Roberta’s.

Hudson and ABS are also partnering on the development of a 36-story condo tower on the site of the former Brooklyn Heights public library at 280 Cadman Plaza and a 254-unit residential tower at 626 Flatbush Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.
