The former Cascade Linen factory will indeed meet the wrecking ball. After trading last year for $27,000,000, now a Hasidic developer plans seven new six-story buildings for the site on Myrtle and Stockton streets in northern Bed Stuy. New York YIMBY first spotted the slew of new building applications, which call for 228 apartments scattered across 293,000 square feet of residential space, as well as 40,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
Permits were filed for 869 Myrtle Avenue, 134 Stockton Street, 98 Stockton, 108 Stockton, 86 Stockton, 833 Myrtle and 857 Myrtle. None of the plans include parking, YIMBY pointed out. The architect of record is Diego Aguilera.
Permits list the owner as Mike Kohn of Alliance Private Capital Group, but YIMBY noted that Alliance is in contract to sell the huge site to Satmar developers for $60,000,000.
So far, we have not spotted any applications for demo permits.

Oy, the hasidim are coming, the hasidim are coming.
kinda shocked at some of the comments here…
Didn’t think today could get any more miserable.
Losing Brooklyn one building at a time.
Agree but I dont see ChinaTown or Jerseys Indian neighborhoods getting the same attention. Lets clean up hate. Lets love not hate! “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” (MLK)
There we go. It was simmering between the lines and now it has finally been said. All this stuff about how badly a laundromat needed to be landmarked was just cover for how much people hate this group specifically and are happy to group them in with Jews in general.
No. Born and bred in Brooklyn and not used to the hate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism
nope not new and I guess I shouldn’t be that shocked.. unfortunately
You referring to Hasidic bigotry towards African Americans or community bigotry towards Hasids?
