12-Story Apartment Tower Coming To Park Slope's Fourth Ave.

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A 12-story apartment building could be coming to Park Slope's Fourth Avenue, right near where another 12-story residential building is planned.

Developers filed permits for the 12-story mixed-use building at 85 Fourth Ave., which is on the corner of the avenue and St. Marks Place, on Tuesday, records show.

The building will use most of its 176,757 square feet of space for residential units, which will take up 124,998 square feet. Commercial space will take up 5,415 square feet and 1,996 square feet will be used for a community facility space, New York YIMBY reported.

YIMBY predicted that the 193 residences planned for the building will most likely be apartment rentals based on their average size of 647 square feet each. The building will also bring 79 parking spaces, YIMBY reported.

The building would become the fourth 12-story tower along Fourth Avenue should it be approved, BKLYNER points out.

The new application was filed by Harry Einhorn, who began purchasing nine lots on the block in 2011.

Across the street, another 12-story building is under construction between Warren Street and St. Marks Place. That project, which started earlier this year, is on the property where KFC once stood and will bring 133,200 square feet of space, BKLYNER reports. It will bring 100 residential units, 50 parking spots and about 8,200 square feet of commercial space.

Another 12-story building is also rising a few blocks away at 561 Pacific St. and another at 639 Degraw St. Those buildings will bring 63 condos and 57 residential units, respectively.
