The old Academy Rubber Stamp Co. on Atlantic near Smith is in its end days as a developer plans to build a new residential building where it stands. The property was recently sold for $3,700,000, and plans have been filed with the DOB to construct an 8-story, 26-unit structure on the spot. (The DOB didn’t approve the initial filing.) The architect on the project is Thomas Gilman, who is designing the 20-story tower slated for Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. There are no renderings for the project yet, but Gilman says the developer is a fan of contextual architecture. Presumably that won’t mean looking exactly like its neighbor, The Smith. GMAP
