Architects and contractors are welcome. Delivered vacant, 40 Clermont represents a unique opportunity to build your own dream home, a live/work mixed-use property, and/or a purely commercial-use facility. Located inside the boundaries of the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, 40 Clermont is a 17' x 35' building on a 88' lot. There is currently a 1,680 square foot 2-family house on 3 levels with a cellar below. The current FAR (floor area ratio) is 2,924 square feet, which gives you an acquisition cost of $576/buildable square feet. There is new electric brought in from the street and three new panels and meters have been installed. Also, a new copper water main has been installed. If you build a community facility, the FAR doubles. M1-2 Zoning is a Light Manufacturing Zoning district in NYC. In M1-2 there are multiple uses including manufacturing, commercial, and community facility. The existing residential square footage is grandfathered into the property. Please inquire with the brokers about financing options available.
