The site offers a total of 400 feet of prime, high-visibility corner retail frontage on three different streets. The property can support up to 39,982 buildable square feet of potential development and has a R6B zoning designation that is ideal for a boutique condominium or townhouse project.
The development site also provides convenient access to Flatbush Avenue and I-278, as well as Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. Located in the DUMBO neighborhood (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), it is home to a variety of Brooklyn restaurants, bars and boutique shopping options.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Advisory team representing the seller includes Vice Chairmen Stephen Palmese and Brendan Maddigan; Managing Directors Ethan Stanton, Winfield Clifford and Michael Mazzara; and Director Patrick Madigan.
“The 251 Front St. opportunity was one of the last parcels of undeveloped land in the DUMBO neighborhood and Vinegar Hill submarkets,” Palmese said. “The strength of the sale at just under $500 per buildable square foot is evidence of the long-term strength of the market.”
