More Welcome Development
Excuse me, you're in the way wants their own luxury condo, and sends a plea to Ratner for assistance:
A site in downtown Brooklyn currently being used as a parking lot is being offered for sale. It is zoned for a 130,000 square foot apartment building, which is woefully inadequate. Even at a relatively sane 700 sq ft per apartment, that's still fewer than 200 units, and once you factor in 2 and 3-bedroom units, it goes even lower. If New York is going to be adding 1 million people in the coming decades, this type of development just isn't going to cut it.Where's Bruce Ratner when you need him?
