To further demonstrate good neighborhood faith, Alloy also restructured original plans, reconfiguring 100,000 square feet of office space for 200 additional residential apartments as well as allowing for the preservation of two historically significant, 19th-century structures on Schermerhorn Street.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing <em>Phase One<\/em> construction\u2014which will include the public schools and four of the residential buildings\u2014is expected to be completed in 2024, with no timeline provided as of yet for <em>Phase Two<\/em>, which will add another residential building and <em>Alloy Block\u2019s<\/em> office tower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/subscribe\/\"><strong>SUBSCRIBE to BrooklynBuzz.com<\/strong><\/a> for updates on Brooklyn Development, features, politics, events and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by W.
