The houses along 11th Street at the site of 470 4th Avenue have been demolished to make room for a 14-story brick and glass high-rise apartment building.

In January we learned that [Adam America Real Estate](http://adamamericare.com/projects?ref=bklyner.com), which is also [developing the McDonald’s site](/blog/real-estate/the-rental-building-thats-replacing-mcdonalds-on-4th-avenue) on 4th Avenue and 1st Street, was [in contract to purchase 470 4th Avenue](http://www.brooklyneagle.com/articles/fourth-avenue-development-site-going-20-million-2014-01-30-133000?ref=bklyner.com) for $20 million.

You can see a preview of what’s to come here in a [rendering](/blog/real-estate/rendering-for-4th-avenue11th-street-high-rise-revealed) for the property, which was released in February, a month before [demolition permits were issued](/blog/real-estate/demolition-set-to-begin-at-470-4th-avenue). [Slate Property Group’s](http://www.slatepg.com/?ref=bklyner.com) Martin Nussbaum, who joins Adam America Real Estate Group and [Naveh Shuster Limited](http://www.naveh-shuster.co.il/main%5Fen.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) in developing 470 4th Avenue, told [DNAinfo](http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140210/park-slope/luxury-high-rise-building-with-doorman-replacing-fourth-ave-row-houses?ref=bklyner.com) that “the building will have about 105 apartments, all of which will be market-rate rentals.”

Looks like we won’t have too long to wait before the site grows — Nussbaum added that apartments in the building should be ready to rent within the next two years.
