Situated at the intersection of the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick neighborhoods in Brooklyn, The MC BK at 1100 Myrtle Avenue is a contemporary mixed-use development that thoughtfully integrates modern design within a historically rich urban fabric.

The building comprises 233 rental units, complemented by ground-floor commercial spaces. Carefully modulated to respect the scale of adjacent buildings, The MC’s massing features setbacks and varied heights that relate to the height of the surrounding structures, including the elevated subway tracks along Myrtle Avenue.

The exterior presents a harmonious blend of materials, including brick and metal panels, reflecting the area’s architectural heritage while introducing a modern aesthetic. The sleek glass curtain wall not only provides ample natural light to the interiors but is also thoughtfully calibrated to capture and reflect light in dynamic ways, creating a facade that responds to the shifting rhythm of the day.

The residential entrance, situated on Vernon Avenue, is thoughtfully recessed from the street, forming an inviting and intimate threshold that complements the scale of the historic row houses and other residences that line the street.

Each residence, with interior design by Alchemy Studio, boasts oversized windows, soaring ceilings, and contemporary finishes. Residents enjoy a range of amenities, including a co-working lounge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a landscaped rooftop deck with panoramic views of the city.

Prior to redevelopment, the site was home to a low-density grocery store. Through the FRESH program, Hill West reintroduced a redesigned grocery space into the building’s base. Along Myrtle Avenue, transparent storefront glazing creates an active streetscape, enhancing pedestrian engagement. The design also incorporates both public and private parking.
