Rabina is the co-developer, and the property was previously at 23 Hanover Place, located at the corner of Livingston Street and Hanover Place.

Construction Progress and Features

Since our last update nearly a year ago, the construction hoist was dismantled from the rear northern elevation. At that time, the tower's exterior was mostly finished with red metal paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows. Currently, crews are still laying the glazed red brick façade of the double-height first story. This features a set of tall arched windows around the main entrance and retail frontage on the southern and western elevations. The sidewalk shed remains standing but is likely to be dismantled in the coming months as the podium work concludes.The renderings above and below showcase Hanover House's southeastern corner and slim western elevation, giving a preview of the finished look of the broad ground-floor arches and landscaped podium terrace.Residential amenities at Hanover House are extensive. There is a fitness center, lounges, a media room, a party room, a business center, and a dog park. The upper floors house a penthouse lounge and dining room with an adjacent terrace featuring a grilling station and outdoor dining.The property is conveniently located near several subway lines. To the north, there is the B, Q, and R trains at the DeKalb Avenue station. To the east, the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains are at the Nevins Street station. And to the west, the A, C, and G trains are at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station.The project is being built with the assistance of $134 million in construction financing from Santander and City National Bank, arranged by Cushman & Wakefield. Hanover House has an anticipated completion date of winter 2024 noted on site.Subscribe to YIMBY’s daily e-mail. Follow YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates. Like YIMBY on Facebook.
