Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 23 Ralph Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Located between Gates Avenue and Quincy Street, the lot is one block from the Gates Avenue subway station, served by the J and Z trains. William Shao under the 880 Quincy LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 33,565 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 49 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 685 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and 12 enclosed parking spaces.
Angelo Ng & Anthony Ng Architects Studio is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in January for the two-story structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Perfect opportunity to reuse the historic base… but no… why would they want to do that???
Exactly what I was thinking — there are some great details on that building, which has been neglected for decades.
What a shame the historic facade is thrown away like Bushwick litter on the street.
Keep the historic facade please not another glass ugliness.
Nooooo! This building should be saved!
That’s Bed-Stuy dawg.
Yes!!! Ralph Ave. is in Bed-Stuy. They want everything to be Bushwick and Williamsburg so badly….
