I suppose it goes without saying that the plan is to demolish and not to pursue adaptive reuse? ---

Part of the podium will be torn down (the southernmost portion). Unfortunately it will be “just the tip.” The portion that will be torn down will be replaced with a pedestrian plaza. I would imagine the podium will also be reclad and thus look less ugly. ---

I hope they reclad the old building but keep the arcade as is (although they can upgrade some of the stores underneath - in particular, that Seven eleven) ---

looks like the arcade is gone, but they keep the corner of dekalb open - that’s where the subway entrance is now - I guess that the plaza on Fulton will make up for the loss ---

„ The project is also expected to include a 4,750-square-foot public plaza, 66,000 square feet of retail, 75,000 square feet of commercial space and an “expanded and heightened” entrance at the DeKalb Avenue subway station. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development is proposing to rezone 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Brooklyn to make way for a 1.5-million-square-foot residential tower. The project would have 1,263 apartments, of which 253 to 379 would be affordable to those, on average, earning at or below 80 percent of the area median income, according to details [released](https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/cityrecord/cityrecord-05-05-25.pdf) Monday.“ > **[The Daily Dirt: City, Rabina pitch replacing “eyesore” office building with...](https://therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/05/06/city-pitches-rezoning-395-flatbush-avenue/)** > > The Real Deal’s Daily Dirt looks at plans for 1,200-plus housing units at 395 Flatbush Avenue.  ---
