Five-story building to replace Brooklyn Market parking lot
BAY RIDGE — With parking spaces along Third Avenue at a minimum, it now appears that more space will be lost as a popular parking lot is earmarked to become the site of a five-story commercial and residential building.
According to the website YIMBY, permits have been filed to turn the parking lot at 302 81st Street in Bay Ridge into a “mixed-use” building. The lot, which was formerly a gas station, has been used as a parking lot for customers of Brooklyn Market, which is located directly across the street from the space.
Meridian Properties is listed as the owner behind the applications for the projected 50-foot-tall structure. The new building will have space for 32 residences and 260 square feet of commercial space.
