Sales Launch at 811 Classon Avenue, Ten Condos in Crown Heights

Now Selling

Nov 1

811 Classon Avenue is a 10-home condo in a gut-renovated 1920s building on Classon Avenue between St. Johns and Lincoln Places, at the western edge of Crown Heights near Prospect Heights. It's one of the few new developments nearby with studios, and most of the other homes are duplexes.

Where Things Stand

The Attorney General accepted the offering plan on August 15, 2025, and sales launched on March 6, 2026. As of November 1, 2026, no homes are in contract, and every listing in the building is temporarily off the market. Join my early access list below and you'll hear when homes here come back on the market, before it reaches StreetEasy.

Buying in a New Development?

New construction works differently than a resale: offering plans, sponsor contracts, closing costs and timelines all have their own rules.

A Closer Look at the Building

The building was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, so you get new systems and finishes behind a classic Crown Heights facade. The layouts are what stand out: studios for an entry-level purchase, two-bedroom duplexes with living space on one floor and bedrooms on the next, and garden-level one-bedroom duplexes with a large finished lower level that opens to the shared backyard. In-unit washers and dryers are included in several homes.

Crown Heights Highlights

I live just down the street on Eastern Parkway, and Classon Avenue is convenient but quieter than the surrounding streets, Washington Avenue and Franklin Avenue. We are also seeing an increase in great local resources. My favorites are Covenhoven, The Villager and La Flor.

The 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Franklin Avenue, about two blocks away
The S shuttle at Park Place, about two blocks away
The B48 bus, which stops right outside the front door, for Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy
The Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden and Prospect Park, about 10 minutes on foot

Katie's Take

I track every new development in Brooklyn, and here's how this one compares: while its homes were listed, 811 Classon Avenue averaged about $990 a square foot, well under the roughly $1,130 to $1,390 at the other Crown Heights condos selling now, and it's one of the only new buildings near Prospect Park with studios. No home has gone into contract since March, and every listing is off the market right now, so I'd expect new pricing or a new approach before they return. If you want an entry-level new condo two blocks from Franklin Avenue, this is the one to watch, and the first buyers back in usually have the most room to negotiate.
