Manhattan, NY The Daten Group’s David Ennis and Craig Rosenman, along with Tracy Dembicer from First Niagra Bank, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony this week for the Daten Group’s new rental building at 840 Fulton St. at the corner of Vanderbilt Ave. in Clinton Hill. The 39-unit mixed rental building replaced a gas station at the corner.

The Daten Group purchased the site of a Clinton Hill gas station two years ago for $7.4 million, and plans to construct a $20 million, seven-story 40,000 s/f rental building (with 20 percent designated affordable units) designed by KBA Architects. The building will also feature almost 5,000 s/f of ground floor retail space.

The project has qualified for the 421A program and is set to deliver 20% affordable units in 18 months.
