The Department of Buildings disapproved those plans, but he’s filed new building applications to develop another residential project across the street at 216 Freeman Street.

Earlier this spring, the development site at 211-215 Schermerhorn Street, in Downtown Brooklyn, was placed on the market for $30 million, and now GPB Realty Capital is in contract to purchase the property. Neither the price nor the future plans have been disclosed, although a 75,000 square-foot residential or hotel building could be built. TerraCRG brokered the property, and the lots are currently vacant, according to The Real Deal.
