Construction has started on an eight-acre, 140-slip marina between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, in Brooklyn Heights, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Carmine Cautella, head of Staten Island-based FJN Development Corp., has filed applications for two two-family residential buildings at 88-90 Craig Avenue, in Tottenville, four blocks from the Nassau station on the Staten Island Railroad.

Stanley Krebushevski’s SMK Architect is the applicant of record, and demolition recently began on an existing two-story house.
