Per DNAinfo, The Brooklyn Hospital Center plans to sell the 21-story Maynard Building, located at 240 Willoughby Street, in Fort Greene, to a developer and use the money to develop a new 155,000 square-foot Ambulatory Care Center at their parking lot spanning 95-99 Dekalb Avenue. The Maynard Building apparently offers spectacular views and would likely be up for a residential conversion. Developers for both proposals have yet to be found.
In March, YIMBY revealed plans for an 88-unit condominium development at 21-21 44th Drive, in Long Island City, but Crain’s Business is reporting a change of plans.

NYU Langone Medical Center has agreed on a 31-year lease with Norvin, and an existing two-story building must first be demolished.
