Rabsky Picks up Bushwick Development Property Near Rheingold for $53 Million

Rabsky Group, a partner in Read Property’s gigantic Rheingold development in Bushwick, has picked up 12 mostly empty lots close by, according to public records. Rabsky paid $53,000,000 for the 12 residentially zoned lots on Bushwick between Montieth and Forrest streets. One of the sellers was Read Property; the other one was Princeton Holdings, according to a story in The Real Deal.

No addresses were given for the parcel in the story, but the group is filed in public records under 501 Bushwick Avenue. The ramshackle block consists mostly of empty lots and parking lots across from a car wash and the Rheingold Gardens affordable housing complex. It is also not far from the Bushwick Houses public housing complex on the corner of Flushing and Bushwick.

Current zoning (R6a) will limit development here to six or seven stories.

Read and Princeton still own properties covering the remaining quarter of the block, as well as more lots across Montieth Street. Bushwick has been roaring with construction since the summer, and development of these properties will further transform this side of Bushwick.
