A 12-story residential building is headed for 2211 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, with permits filed for a development that would bring 119 apartments to a stretch of the corridor between Erasmus Street and Church Avenue. The proposal calls for a 126-foot-tall structure yielding 88,849 square feet of residential space, with units averaging 746 square feet — a scale that would make it one of the taller additions to a block already seeing a wave of new construction.
According to New York YIMBY, the site sits close to the Church Avenue subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains, putting future residents within easy reach of Manhattan-bound transit. Mimi Ho, affiliated with Apex Investments, is listed as the owner behind the applications, while David Gross of Ge55 Partners is named as the architect of record.
What the Building Would Include
Plans call for a concrete-based structure with a cellar and a 38-foot-long rear yard, the outlet's filing details show. Per the same report, the residences are most likely rentals, though that characterization reflects the article's own assessment rather than a confirmed designation from an official application or an owner statement.
Key details remain open. Demolition permits for the site had not been filed, and no estimated completion date had been announced as of the filing, the report notes. Those gaps leave the project's timeline, as well as questions about the current structure on the lot, unresolved for now.
Part of a Broader Flatbush Building Wave
The Bedford Avenue filing lands amid a broader run of development activity along the same corridor. Just blocks away, permits have been filed for a 10-story, 75-unit building at 2564 Bedford Avenue that would rise 94 feet and span 45,760 square feet, according to Patch. That project includes a 20-foot rear yard and would replace a two-story warehouse built in 1933, though Patch reported that no demolition permit had been filed for the warehouse as of its late-September publication.
Other nearby filings round out the picture of change along Bedford Avenue. Hoodline has reported that permits were also filed earlier this year for a three-story mixed-use building at 2625 Bedford Avenue, and that a seven-story, 354-unit project was filed in 2024 at 2366 Bedford Avenue. Hoodline also noted permits filed for a six-story residential building near the Church Avenue station on the 2 and 5 lines, a project separately described by the Brooklyn Eagle as located at 960 New York Avenue.
Context for the Growth Spurt
The activity on Bedford Avenue fits into a citywide pattern of new filings. New York YIMBY's second-quarter 2026 report tracked 903 new-building permit filings across the five boroughs, and the outlet has documented several residential projects under construction across Flatbush this year. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, a proposed nine-building complex in East Flatbush was reported to include 972 units, underscoring how much residential capacity is being planned in the surrounding area.
For now, the 2211 Bedford Avenue proposal remains in the permitting stage, with no demolition timeline or completion date attached. As with the other Bedford Avenue filings nearby, the next milestones to watch will be whether demolition permits are eventually filed and whether a construction schedule emerges.
