Joe Sitt, best known as a major landholder on Coney Island, is again making headlines for his plans to build a mall at a bus lot in Bensonhurst. Thor Equities, Mr. Sitt’s development company, is hoping to create a 214,000-square-foot shopping center with BJ’s Wholesale Club and three other, as yet unsigned, retailers, reports The Observer. Thor has filed for a rezoning of the site and is going through due process with the Department of City planning. Thor has also proposed a BJ’s at the former Revere sugar refinery in Red Hook, across from Ikea. GMAP
