The Donald Zucker Company hopes to replace the Tunnel Garage at 520-532 Broome Street with an 8-story building with about 40 residential condominium apartments.

Robert Esnard, the company's president, told CityRealty.Com today that the Zucker organization will be seeking variances from the city's Board of Standards & Appeals for the project and is now meeting with Community Board 2 to present its plans.

The brown-brick, two-story garage was erected in 122 and has about 188 parking spaces, while the proposed new building would have about 117 spaces.

Mr. Esnard said that Stephen B. Jacobs, the architect of the Ganesvoort Hotel in the West Village, will design the new building.

The Zucker Company has built numerous residential towers in Manhattan such as the 35-story Rivergate at 401 East 34th Street in 1985, the 35-story Future at 200 East 32nd Street in 1991, the 16-story Saranac at 95 Worth Street in 2000 and the 25-story 205 East 59th Street this year.
