Developer from Brooklyn
Allen R Phillips Architecture and Development is a development company that re-imagines turn of the century townhouses in New York and through architectural intervention creates more livable homes.
Due to building technologies, financial constraints or social norms at the time, many of these buildings are now functionally obsolete. By repurposing the layouts we are able to optimize square footage and improve the rent rolls for owners and investors.
Many of these properties have underutilized FAR (Floor Area Ratio — how much buiding is allowed on a plot of land) and can have additional RSF (rentable square footage) added with little architectural intervention.
Re:Design Build prides itself on building contextually relevant extensions that meld with the surrounding buildings. In a city where housing stock is in such short demand, we unlock the unused building potential in an elegant and socially responsible way.
For New Yorkers, young professionals, and mid-career transients not yet ready to settle down, our homes provided the amenities people crave like Washer/Dryers, Dishwashers, closets, outdoor space, energy efficient appliances and flexible living space.
For owners, we provide management services including monthly maintenance, marketing, rentals, accounting and financials.
