Permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 237 McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Located at the intersection of McGuinness Boulevard and Greenpoint Avenue, the corner lot is within walking distance of the Greenpoint Avenue subway station, serviced by the G train. The Jay Group is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 95-foot-tall development will yield 57,673 square feet, with 51,384 square feet designated for residential space and 6,289 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 70 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 734 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and 28 enclosed parking spaces.
JFA Architects & Engineers is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in January for the single-story structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

It seems this is the third gas station to be redeveloped in the last few weeks.
Time to buy an EV, or better yet, just take transit.
The urban gas station’s time has come and gone. Thank goodness.
Says the person who’s not driving, I assume. Sometimes, especially during a pandemic, a vehicle is the only way to transport yourself or others, for health and safety reasons. Also people should think about all the cab/lyft/uber drivers that people who don’t drive, depend on. The USPS, FedEx, and UPS delivery trucks with your mail and Amazon packages. All the food/grocery delivery services that depend on vehicles that require gas mostly, to get around the city. Losing another gas station will create more traffic and delays for non-commercial and commercial drivers, as well as cause more pollution with vehicles idling in traffic to get around (also to wait in line for whatever gas stations remain). People should look at the big picture for everyone, instead of just their own.
