More Stories for Bergen Tile Replacement at Dean and Flatbush

Scrap the old plans and rendering for a six-story building to replace Bergen Tile on the corner of Dean and Flatbush. Yesterday developer Scott Domansky of PRD Realty and architect of record Avinash K. Malhotra Architects filed a new application for a permit to build an eight story building there, as New York YIMBY was the first to report.

But something is off: The permit says the building at 456 Dean Street (aka 215 Flatbush) will have only one residential unit and no commercial space. We’re dubious, as is YIMBY, which offered this explanation:

The unit count given is one, which is surely to be amended – this permit, like most others filed around now, was likely rushed in order to fall under the rules of the 2008 building code, rather than the new one being rolled out next year. Mistakes – missing parking, square footages that don’t add up, zoning calculations that are way off – seem to be occurring quite frequently across filings this month.

YIMBY also points out that with the relatively gigantic towers planned across the street at Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park, it would make more sense for this building and others near Barclays to be taller too. The rendering above shows the previously planned six-story building in relation to the future towers at Atlantic Yards across the street. What do you think?
