30-Story Residential High-Rise Planned for 1625 Shore Parkway in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn

Permits have been filed for a new 30-story residential building at 1625 Shore Parkway, in the South Brooklyn neighborhood of Bensonhurst. The site is between Belt Parkway and Cropsey Avenue, and about three blocks away from Bensonhurst Park.
