20-story Condo Coming to the Southside
It appears that developer Michael Zazza is moving forward with his long-held plans to build a 20-story condo on Bedford Avenue and South 8th Street. The DOB approved Zazza’s building a few months ago, and we found a rendering for the project on GreenbergFarrow’s website.

It appears that developer Michael Zazza is moving forward with his long-held plans to build a 20-story condo on Bedford Avenue and South 8th Street. The DOB approved Zazza’s building a few months ago, and we found a rendering for the project on GreenbergFarrow’s website. In ’06, neighborhood activists protested Zazza’s proposed development because it required the demolition of two of the oldest buildings in the neighborhood (see pic of 118 and 120 South 8th Street, pre demo, on jump). Now that the shovels are in the ground, though, it’s probably worth considering how this building is going to fit in with the rest of the structures in the neighborhood. It’ll certainly be taller and glassier than just about everything around it (with the exception of the nearby waterfront condos). Nevertheless, think it’ll play well?

I bought a place in one of Zazza’s other developments. We love the place but were less than thrilled in our dealings with Zazza. The main problem was that we were told that a tax abatement was in the works when in fact it was not. About six months into ownership our board found out that it had never been applied for. I hope that he is planning to do a better job with the new development.

P.S. Please let us know when you have a package deal on the table (100 million will be ok)
It appears? that developer Michael Zazza is NOT! moving forward with his long-held plans.
The building looks very nice, but if you take a look at the block, and you know the numbers that Schaefer Landing is getting the past year, I hope the developer is mentally fit.
