Brooklyn

Fourth Avenue is poised to get another very large building that could rival the size of the ones Leviev Boymelgreen has been throwing up. The Concerned Citizens of Greenwood Heights have been playing Sherlock Holmes again and discovered that one developer, Gregory Rigas, has been quietly amassing a cluster of seven properties between Prospect and 16th Street, including an auto repair shop, a defunct gas station and and restaurant supply store. Some of these have already been, or are in the process of being, demolished. Rigas won’t win any neighbor-of-the-year awards for the demo job at 570-572 Fourth Avenue, as this this YouTube video shows. Plans have already been filed for a nine-story, 120-foot-high building with a total of 49 units. All in, 111,451 square feet of — brace yourself — Bricolage design. Doh!
