Community Board Rejects Huge Mixed-Use Development in Sunset Park

Sunset Park’s Community Board 10 voted against renewing permission to build an out-of-scale mixed-use development at 6208 8th Street at the corner of 62nd Street, Brooklyn Daily reported. The vote is only advisory and not binding, so the project could still get the green light from the city.

The site’s previous owner got permission from the city in 2007 to put up a mixed-use complex with an 11-story tower and a Home Depot, and now the new owner, a group of investors, wants to put up an even bigger development that would include four towers and a mall as large as three football fields, as already reported.

The site is currently classified as manufacturing, not residential.
