More than 60 mixed-income apartments are available at a new 18-story residential development on the border of Park Slope and Gowanus. Located at 74 St. Marks Place, aka 85 4th Avenue, Solace offers open-layout residences designed with wellness in mind, complemented by a full floor of health-focused amenities. New Yorkers earning 40, 60, and 130 percent of the area median income can apply for the units, priced from $992/month studios to $4,518/month two-bedrooms.
Designed by Stretke Architects, Solace offers a “quieter” residential experience, with a warm brick facade designed to maximize natural light. Previous reports identified Harry Einhorn as the project’s developer.
The building offers 247 thoughtfully crafted residences, each offering open layouts that blend living, dining, and entertaining spaces to ensure comfort.
A full-floor amenities suite dedicated to wellness provides space for movement, focus, and rest, including a fitness center, a yoga and dance studio, and a co-working space.
Apartments come equipped with high-end kitchen appliances, premium countertops and finishes, hardwood floors, air-conditioning, smart controls for heating and cooling, and intercom devices. Dogs and cats up to 65 pounds in weight are permitted.
Other features include a pet spa, bike storage lockers, shared laundry facilities, a media room, a business center, a children’s playroom, green space, a rooftop terrace and a covered parking garage with 37 spaces and electric vehicle charging stations.
SOLACE is conveniently located near the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center transit hub, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5, D, N, and R subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road, and several bus routes.
Einhorn first filed plans for the project in October 2019, according to The Real Deal. The plans called for a 12-story, 193-unit residential development with roughly 5,400 square feet of commercial space, nearly 2,000 square feet of community space, and parking for 79 cars and 100 bikes.
The developer began acquiring the nine tax lots that make up the site in 2011, first purchasing a collection of low-rise buildings along Fourth Avenue between Warren Street and St. Marks Place for just under $19 million.
Einhorn acquired the final property in May 2019 for roughly $5.5 million, after which Axos Bank provided a $25 million loan to refinance the lots. The most recent permit calls for an 185-foot-tall tower with 247 apartments.
Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the apartments until September 3, 2026. Complete details on how to apply are available here. Preference for 20 percent of the units will be given to residents of Brooklyn Community District 6.
