Permits have been filed to expand a single-story structure into a five-story residential building at 40 State Street in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn. Located between Hicks Street and Columbia Place, the lot is near the Court Street subway station, served by the R train. Vadem Brodsky is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 49-foot-tall development will yield 24,417 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have five residences with an average unit scope of 4,883 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and ten enclosed parking spaces.
Brendan Coburn of The Brooklyn Studio is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the project calls for a vertical expansion. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Is “expand” the New York YIMBY euphemism for “demolish”?
Apparently keeping the facade. Much discussion on local blogs including bhb.com.
That makes sense, I see The Brooklyn Studio has a few notable adaptive reuse projects.
what are the blogs? I don’t see anything on bhb.com
thanks
Please, please keep the vertical expansion a few feet behind the beautiful brick wall. It’ll make it easier to construct too.
