The Chetrit Group is looking to construct a 160,000-square-foot building in Williamsburg, according to permits filed with the city today.

The five-story property, located at 452 Rodney Street, will rise right next to Chetrit’s 14-story hotel project at 500 Metropolitan Avenue.

Filings indicate the new building will have 14 residential units divided among more than 65,300 square feet, indicating large-sized units. The remainder — and largest part — of the building will be devoted to commercial space.
