The southern Brooklyn neighborhood of Gravesend is finally seeing some new development at 1502 West 1st Street, right outside of Mapleton and Bensonhurst. Sergey Rybak of Rybak Development is planning a 6-story mixed-use building with 35 residential units to replace the current 1-story medical facility. The architect of record is Igor Zaslavskiy of Zproekt. The 70-foot-tall structure will spread across a total of 50,695 square feet, with 36,970 square feet of residential space. This will give the apartments an average of 1,056 square feet apiece, indicative of condos.
Permits call for a daycare center occupying the cellar level, a lobby, recreational space, bike room and indoor parking for 22 cars on the first floor. Seven apartments will occupy each floor on levels two through six. Balconies for each residence are also shown on the black and white rendering revealed on Rybak Development's site.

Most new developments in this southern Brooklyn area have been restricted to low-rise buildings due to zoning, though a few blocks have retained an R6 zoning which paved the way for this project. The 35 residences are situated just a few blocks away from the large shopping stretch of Bay Parkway. The anticipated completion date for the project is early 2018.
