New permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 885 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Located between Linden Boulevard and Martense Street, the interior lot is a couple blocks from the Church Avenue subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. HL&S LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 91-foot-tall development will yield 33,142 square feet, with 30,071 square feet designated for residential space and 3,070 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 45 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 668 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
Yoel Rozenberg of JAY Architect & Engineering D.P.C. is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last year for the three-story home on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

For good or bad, this neighborhood is transforming fast.
Go to street view and see the Frankenstein Monster at 868-870 York Avenue.
That used to be my cousins family home until they sold it. Not everyone was happy with the decision but life happens.
I know many of you think more housing is worth any price, but look at the beautiful block this will destroy. We cannot fit the whole world in New York. Should every single street have twelve or 20 or 40 story buildings on it? Absolutely not.
Yes, it would actually be wonderful to have these streets filled with midrise or even highrise residential buildings. More supply means lower rents.

Biggest bunch of BS I ever heard
Flatbush and East Flatbush is really getting pummeled with atrocious and insensitive architecture. I’m sure this one won’t disappoint.
East Flatbush has been dead for years. No development, drugs, drugs,.no new outsiders, finally something sustainable
