Yep, thanks to R6 zoning the developer can put a high-rise on part of the lot and turn the rest into surface parking. Terrible urban mistake. Keep us posted on this one!

What about the two up the street? The one on the west has been going on for awhile now and they are starting to put funky colored (red and blue) panels in with the windows. Across the the street to the left already has a second floor and it was just a hold in the ground two weeks ago.

Thanks for the correction! So parking comes with the condos. Got it. When I searched for 31 Kos on the DOB website I saw the info for the garage, not the residential portion of this development. From now on I think it’s safe for me to assume that anything tall in this neighborhood will be a condo building (most likely), an eldercare center or an affordable housing rental building of some sort.

It’s not going to be a gas station, it will be a 12 story, 135ft high, 27,000 square foot, 23 unit residential development.

And it’s on a series of lots that will be combined under a new lot 31.

Actually, according to the DOB website, this will be a 12-story residential building with 23 apartments, with parking for 12 cars. It’s a bit out of touch with the neighborhood, but there’s no stopping it.

Seems like an odd thing to devote a good-sized piece of land to in a neighborhood full of residential pressures. Especially a piece of land tucked away from any kind of thoroughfare where people would be looking for gas…

I THINK THIS IS A CONDO BUILDING
