The apartments should average a spacious 2,175 square feet apiece.

Two-Story, 27,000-Square-Foot Manufacturing Building Planned at 749 East 43rd Street, East Flatbush

Brooklyn-based property owner Albert Faks has filed applications for a two-story, 27,381-square-foot commercial warehouse at 749 East 43rd Street, in southern East Flatbush, located 14 blocks from the Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College stop on the 2 and 5 trains.
