Century 21 buildings to be demolished, replaced by ‘Class A Retail’
The former Century 21 buildings in Bay Ridge are slated to be demolished.
The Commercial Observer first reported that the demolition permits were filed with the city’s Department of Buildings for the adjacent retail buildings between 448 and 460 86th St.
The vacant department store, which was a fixture in the community since 1961, closed in December 2020 after the Gindi family, which owns Century 21, announced that the chain had filed for bankruptcy and would close all of its 13 stores.
