In April, Thor Equities acquired the development site spanning 176-180 Bedford Avenue, in northern Williamsburg, for $36.1 million, and now renderings posted on-site show a possible two-story commercial-retail building. Per Brownstoner, plans have yet to be filed for the project, but the property could accommodate a structure as large as 14,400 square feet. The site’s three-story predecessor has been removed.
Brownstoner reports the Dime Savings Bank building in central Williamsburg, which is only a portion of a 50,000 square-foot assemblage, is now on the market as a development site. The other properties included are 257-275 South 5th Street, 146-150 Marcy Avenue, 209 Havemeyer Street, and 262 South 4th Street, and a 230,500 square-foot mixed-use development could be accommodated. Dime Savings Bank is seeking to keep their retail location in the existing two-story building at 209 Havemeyer Street.
