A developer wants to put up an 11-story apartment building with 292 apartments on this lot. The new building will have retail stores on the ground floor with housing above it.
On Wednesday, April 15th Community Board 10 will have a committee meeting about this property and then on Monday, April 18th, the whole Community Board will vote.
I think CB 10 will vote in favor of this (the CB 10 members don’t live near 5th Aveue.
This is what Community Board 10 shared:
Staples would be the perfect location for a Trader Joes because it has a good size lot, but this development will take that away.
