As noted earlier this week by blogger Set Speed, the property at 690-694 Fulton Street, at the center of Fort Greene’s hustle bustle, is on the market with good ole Jerry Minsky. Asking $3.5 million, the triangular shaped corner property looks like it has four stores as well as three floors of existing apartments. The listing claims there are air rights in place which, mentioned in the same breath as the fact that the location is not landmarked, suggests the potential for some develoment action. Not knowing the size of the air rights, it’s hard to comment on the listing price, but we do think that the the value of the commercial spaces will only increase over time. When the inevitable development does occur, we just hope it’s done with a little style and taste that respects the neighboring brick, and in one case, cast iron architecture. Wishful thinking, we know.

I’m hoping those who support the Fort Greene Association’s zoning reform for FG/CH area will help take measures to prevent properties like this from falling prey to developers:

According to properyshark this building is already 929 ft over its maximum allowable floor space. That means no air rights for you!
makes the subway smell like tasty slices, mmmm good.
whats that exhaust fan doing coming out the side of the pizza joint? Aren’t they all supposed to vent over rooftop?
now THIS is something to be worried about instead of a blimpie’s opening!
How corners like these end up being developed can mean a big change for a hood. The facades, aesthetics etc. When I walk to the Nevins Street subway, I always wonder what will happen to the two blocks on Nevins running from Schemerhorn to Livingston and Flatbush Ave. Now Corcoran has a 2-story derelict building for sale for $2.75 million. So again, it could be some play on air rights. http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=795706
That is crazy stuff!
What is going on?
