Construction has topped out at 311 Eastern Parkway, an eight-story residential building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Bowerbird Architects and developed by Harpia, a Brooklyn-based impact investment and sustainable development company, the 75-foot-tall structure will yield five condominium units with an all-electric Passive House design. Augmented Construction is the construction manager and LXC Construction Inc. is the general contractor for the development, which is located between Classon and Franklin Avenues, a short walk from the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. 

Each of the five units in will come with private outdoor space. In line with Harpia’s dedication to sustainability, the building includes a full suite of smart and eco-friendly features, including certified Passive House windows and individual certified Passive House ERV air purification systems. 

The building will house two double-height units with mezzanine primary suites and private terraces at the top, two 2-bedroom apartments in the middle with private rooftop space, and a townhouse triplex suite at the bottom with a private backyard. A smart private keyed elevator will connect the all-electric building. 

Finishes will include custom paneled kitchen millwork, electric induction ranges, and energy efficient electric heat pump technology for heating, cooling, ventless dryers and hot water heating. The closest subways from the property are the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains at the Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College station.
