Development will bring neighboring Vinegar Hill sites to life
Two corner sites at a prime Vinegar Hill intersection have served as parking lots for decades. Now, residential development is headed their way.
The intersection is Front and Gold streets in the quirky, picturesque waterfront Brooklyn neighborhood that’s adjacent to tourist magnet DUMBO.
One of the corner lots, 251 Front St., was just sold by a property owner who withdrew his application for rezoning that would have allowed him to construct a nine-story apartment building. The other corner lot, 265 Front St., belongs to two brothers who have parked their company’s trucks on it since the 1980s.
