Agency Testimony

Applicant Stark on residential sites and retail plans

New York City Council · Sep 9, 2026 · starts 0:26:01 · 45 sec

Stark briefly covers the residential sites: mid-rise 7-11 story buildings with up to 391 units, new ground floor retail, and commitment to bring back current retail tenants.

Benjamin Stark

Okay, and just very briefly, walking through the residential sites, again, this is a mid-rise density, seven to 11 story buildings.

Benjamin Stark

It's anticipated that the rezoning could yield up to 391 new units.

Benjamin Stark

Again, the coordinated nature here, having the schools on the side streets has allowed this sort of the residential core of the rezoning to take place on park running down the center.

Benjamin Stark

New retail uses at the ground floor will expand services for the surrounding residential community, while at the same time, ownership is hoping to bring back many of the current retail tenants.

Benjamin Stark

I really appreciate your time.

Benjamin Stark
