Permits have been pre-filed for a 16-story mid-rise as part of a larger mega-development at 2926 West 19th Street, Coney Island, Brooklyn, which YIMBY first revealed back in January. The site is five blocks away from the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, serviced by the D, F, N, and Q trains, and right across the street from a multi-purpose baseball ballpark.
Back in January, YIMBY posted a new rendering for Red Apple Group’s 3514 Surf Avenue, in Coney Island. Since then, we’ve spoken with the site’s developer, John Catsimatidis, who offered an even fresher image of the project, as well as some additional insight into what’s happening across the neighborhood and Brooklyn.
Permits have been filed for a two-story commercial building at 821 Surf Avenue, in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The site is a block east of Luna Park, and a block west of the West 8th Street NY Aquarium Subway Station, serviced by the F and Q trains. Brighton Beach-based Aqua Plaza LLC and Pye Properties will be responsible for the development.
A new rendering has been revealed for the upcoming project at 3514 Surf Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn, which YIMBY previously revealed thanks to grainy on-site imagery. The property is being developed by John Catsimatidis’ Red Apple Real Estate.
The building boom enveloping New York City’s waterfront neighborhoods extended into Coney Island last year, with several big projects entering the pipeline. Today, YIMBY has the first rendering for the largest one yet, slated to rise on Surf Avenue. The redevelopment will yield 1,000 apartments, 150,000 square feet of retail space, and 80,000 square feet of offices, indicating the neighborhood’s post-Sandy rebirth is continuing with vigor.
