1:00 pm on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Igor Zagranichny, doing business as an anonymous Queens-based LLC, has filed applications for a six-story, 11,545-square-foot medical office building at 1123 Ocean View Avenue, in Brighton Beach, located six blocks from the Brighton Beach stop on the B/Q lines. The entire building, from the basement level to the sixth-floor penthouse, will feature 11,299 square feet of medical space (noted as community facility square-footage in filings). The new building would rise on a 25-foot-wide, 2,475-square-foot lot currently occupied by a two-and-a-half-story brick house. Demolition permits have not yet been filed. Ruslan S. Goychayev’s Brooklyn-based RSLN Architecture is the architect of record.

Four-Story, Multi-Use Commercial Building Planned At 219 Park Avenue, Brooklyn Navy Yard

11:00 am on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in 2012, former property owner Harvey Stashower filed plans for a small, two-story commercial building with a caretakers apartment at 219 Park Avenue, located directly below the BQE on the southern edge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Those plans never came to fruition, but now an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC filed applications for a four-story, 9,525-square-foot multi-use commercial project. The latest plans call for 5,000 square feet of warehouse and office space in addition to 4,525 square feet of medical offices. The ground floor and a mezzanine level will feature a commercial warehouse and office space, the second and third floors will contain the medical offices, and the fourth floor and a mezzanine level will contain another office unit. Rego Park-based Diego Aguilera Architects is the architect of record.

New Two-Story Commercial Building Filed At 131-01 39th Avenue, Within Flushing West Rezoning Area

10:00 am on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In 2014, King’s USA Group acquired the two-story, 100,000-square-foot commercial building – dubbed Assi Plaza and located at 131-01 39th Avenue, in Downtown Flushing – for $54.6 million. Now, the developer is filing applications for a new two-story, 165,337-square-foot building with 58,349 square feet of commercial space, a storage component, and staging areas for transporting goods. Perkins Eastman would design the 51-foot-tall structure, but the new filings come just before the area could get rezoned. Last fall, YIMBY brought you the latest details on the Flushing West Rezoning and the site in question, located between College Point Boulevard and Flushing Creek, is at the center of the proposal’s special waterfront district. In other words, the site could eventually accommodate mixed-use buildings of up to 10 or 14 stories. Plans for the site are probably not set in stone, and the rezoning’s public review process is expected to kick off this spring. Permits to demolish the existing commercial building were filed in February.

That’s between Lafayette and Green avenues in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Historic District. Its design was initially rejected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. On Tuesday, after a rethink, a more traditional design won them over.
