Development Watch: 235 Gold Street
At the corner of Gold and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, the Lazerian family is in the process of trying to get its plans approved for a large residential tower.

At the corner of Gold and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, the Lazerian family is in the process of trying to get its plans approved for a large residential tower. A New York Sun article in June reported that they wanted to build a 600,000-square-foot building with over 500 apartments and 100,000 square feet of retail and parking but a DOB application from April (that was disapproved) called for only 377 units taking up 326,000 square feet of space over 12 floors. Anyone know which version is closest to the truth? In the meantime, the father-son team has only been able to put up a sidewalk shed. GMAP P*Shark DOB
Can we get this childish arguing out of the way? There are honest, decent people that are making a home in this neighborhood, myself being one, and most of us are excited about the development happenings. As some might know, we have no markets, restaurants (worth eating at), and few amenities. It seems that the only ones not excited are the ones in the projects. Do you not want more amenities?
For some real news about the development: The smaller buildings are being demolished as we speek. I am not certain but the Pinnacle Storage might be next according to a NY Post map about a month back. As for the future building, I believe that the plans are close to being finalized pending permits. I am sure there will be an anouncement soon but as of now, no word.
P.S. To Farragut Housing: Quit the BS. There is no reason why some of these tennents have to hate their new nieghbors. Try to be nice for a change.
I think I saw a rendering a while back, looked pretty generic tan and red brick with setbacks and stuff kind of reminiscent of the anthem in manhattan

I guess Myrtle Ave is showing signs of improvement. Are you part of that, Manny? Doesn’t sound like it.

Ahhh. The threat. What’s your ethnic origin, Manny? As if I had to guess.

Manny, you and other peeps with your attitude are the peeps Brooklyn can live without. The way real estate prices are going, and the way Brooklyn’s renewal is headed says you’re going to leave the borough sooner rather than later.
Bloomberg’s massive rezoning activity and the stunning demand for condos and houses is putting a lot of pressure on renters who want to believe The Peoples’ Republic of Brooklyn will provide them with heavily subsidized apartments forever.

2:23- I guess you’re trying to get people to stop acting like jerks, which is admirable…but who ever said that the posts here are consistent with the bopping of the head due to hip hop?
while granting 1:11 his/her due, my initial comment stands
its really great how you’re all making fun of housing projects.
really nice
and yet you claim that this behavior is completely consistent with boppin your heads to hip hop
idiots
