Permits Filed for 2718 Fulton Street, Hotel Coming to Cypress Hills, Brooklyn

On the southern edge of Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills neighborhood, just above the blocks constituting East New York and Brownsville, an under-utilized lot at 2718 Fulton Street is about to be redeveloped with a new hotel. Building applications for the site were filed by Michael Kang Architect, P.C., and show a new structure rising ten floors and totaling 29,694 square feet of commercial space. That will be divided between 100 rooms, for a fairly small average size of only 296 square feet. The location is very atypical for hotel development, possibly indicating it may become a homeless shelter after completion, as has occurred in similarly-sited projects in other Outer Borough neighborhoods. Nehalkumar Gandhi of 2722 Fulton LLC is listed as the developer, and the lot lies two blocks west of the J and Z train stop at Van Siclen Avenue.

Two Three-Story, Three-Family Residential Buildings Coming to 103-107 Force Tube Avenue, East New York

Ozone Park-based Amida Holding has filed applications for two three-story, three-family residential buildings at 103-107 Force Tube Avenue, in the Cypress Hills section of East New York, located three blocks from the Norwood Avenue stop on the J/Z trains. They will rise on the vacant portion of a 9,294-square-foot lot. The plot of land, which shares a corner with Hale Avenue, also contains a two-story townhouse at 39 Hale Avenue that will not be demolished. As for the new structures, they will respectively measure 2,882 and 2,707 square feet. Across the development, the full-floor apartments should average 931 square feet apiece. Brandon Hamchuk’s Massapequa, N.Y.-based Hogan Associates is the applicant of record. The site was subdivided into three separate lots in 2015.

Three-Story, Six-Unit Residential Project Planned At 209 McKinley Avenue, Cypress Hills

Brooklyn-based S R Builders has filed applications for a three-story, six-unit residential building at 209 McKinley Avenue, in eastern Cypress Hills, located five blocks from the Grant Avenue stop on the A train. The building will measure 6,080 square feet, which means units will average a relatively spacious 1,013 square feet. Arnold Montag’s Great Neck-based AM/PM Design is the architect of record, and the site’s former two-story wood-frame building was demolished back in 2008.

Permits Filed: Cypress Hills Townhouses, 25-29 Cox Place

As the administration’s East New York rezoning marches through the public review process, small market-rate developments are growing on the neighborhood’s outskirts, away from the rezoning area south of Atlantic Avenue. One such project is in the works in Cypress Hills, the northern section of the neighborhood that stretches from Atlantic up to the acres of cemeteries along the Brooklyn-Queens border.
