Demolition of landmarked Montague Street building wins local support
CB2 committee says yes to residential-tower design for Brooklyn Heights site
A landmarked bank building at 200 Montague St. in Brooklyn Heights is one step closer to being torn down and replaced with a 20-story apartment tower, following a recommendation from the local community board Wednesday night.
Community Board 2’s land use committee approved Midtown Equities’ plan to demolish the Modern-style building, a part of the Borough Hall Skyscraper Historic District established in 2011. The property is one of 21 buildings within the landmarked area, though the building had been altered several times prior to the creation of the Historic District.
The board’s executive committee will make a final decision on the issue on Monday.
