A proposed eight-story, 39-residence building could replace the two-story mixed-use structure at 5th Avenue and 22nd Street in South Slope. The plan calls for a building 85 feet tall; demolition permits have been filed, though that does not confirm demolition work has begun.
The address is officially listed as 238 22nd Street but also goes by 709 5th Avenue, according to New York YIMBY, which first reported the filing. The proposed development would yield 27,152 square feet of residential space, and the concrete-based structure would include a cellar along with rooftop terraces spanning the top two floors, per the same outlet.
The reported plans call for a concrete-based structure with a cellar and rooftop terraces across the top two floors. The filing also lists seven open parking spaces and two enclosed spaces. The amount, if any, of space designated for commercial use remains unclear.
Who's Behind the Project
The applications name Alix Michel of Citiscape Consulting LTD as architect of record and list Andrew Moutzouroulias as the owner, filing through 242 Greenwood Terrace LLC, according to the outlet.
Demolition permits for the existing two-story mixed-use building were filed last month. No estimated completion date has been announced for the proposed construction.
A Likely Rental, Near the R Train
The closest subway access is the 25th Street station, served by the R train.
A Separate, Earlier Rezoning Proposal
The New York City City Planning Commission’s September 28, 2005 public-hearing calendar included a separate South Park Slope rezoning proposal that would permit an inclusionary-housing bonus in specified areas, according to the City Planning Commission. That historical proposal does not establish whether 238 22nd Street fell within those areas, or the lot’s current zoning or permit status.
The project adds to a string of recent mixed-use filings along the 5th Avenue corridor in South Slope and neighboring Park Slope. Permits were previously filed for a five-story mixed-use building at 259 22nd Street in South Slope, and for an eight-story mixed-use building at 254 Flatbush Avenue in Park Slope. A 10-story mixed-use building has also been filed for 645 4th Avenue in South Slope, located between 19th and 20th Streets near the Prospect Avenue subway station.
