Development Watch: 235 Gold Street

At the corner of Gold and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, the Lazerian family is in the process of trying to get its plans approved for a large residential tower. A New York Sun article in June reported that they wanted to build a 600,000-square-foot building with over 500 apartments and 100,000 square feet of retail and parking but a DOB application from April (that was disapproved) called for only 377 units taking up 326,000 square feet of space over 12 floors. Anyone know which version is closest to the truth? In the meantime, the father-son team has only been able to put up a sidewalk shed. GMAP P*Shark DOB
