Brooklyn Paper reports that a group of developers have signed on to erect a massive mixed-use project in the southern Brooklyn neighborhood on Eighth Avenue between 61st and 64th streets. Aptly named **Eighth Avenue Center** , the new development, designed by Raymond Chan, will have a **three-story Chelsea Market-style retail space at its base** that will cover some 167,000-square-feet or, as BP puts it, about three football fields. Above it will rise a **10-story, 150-room hotel, two 15-story residential towers with some 350 apartments between them, and a 17-story office tower**. The tallest nearby buildings top out at about eight stories, so needless to say, the development’s scale is largely unprecedented for the neighborhood.

I lived in Sunset Pk for many years and was at the 8th Ave station a few days ago, thinking what a wasted opportunity that silly parking lot right next to an express train stop is. ---
