Rabsky Group<\/a> is planning neighboring 99- and 98-unit residential developments in Brooklyn\u2019s Bedford -Stuyvesant area.<\/p>\n

The two plans, submitted to the New York City Department of Buildings on March 31, sit on a corner lot adjacent to the J train\u2019s Kosciuszko Street station. Together they yield a collective 197 units, staying safely below 485x\u2019s 100-unit tipping point for its enhanced minimum wage requirement.<\/p>\n

The largest of the twin projects is a 92,821-square-foot mixed-use building at 1150 Broadway. The parcel currently hosts a parking lot and a line of small retail storefronts, including the Super Clean laundromat. In their place, Rabsky plans a 99-unit, 11-story building made up of residences and commercial space, PincusCo<\/a> first reported.<\/p>\n

A Little Caesars pizza parlor resides across the parking lot on the second site, 1164 Broadway. The smaller parcel is slated to host a 98-unit, 85,991-square-foot building and\u00a0 will mirror its neighbor in reaching 11 stories with a mix of residential and commercial tenants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 99- and 98-unit plans for the Broadway site reflect a broader trend of developers opting out of scaled multifamily developments<\/a> since 485x passed the New York legislature in 2024. Under the program, most multifamily projects with 100 or more units are required to pay workers a minimum wage of $40 per hour, versus the citywide minimum of $17 per hour.<\/p>\n

Rabsky could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

The applicant for Rabsky\u2019s two-parcel plans was Kao Hwa Lee of Kao Hwa Lee Architects<\/a> PC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A deed transfer for the parcel at 1150 and 1164 Broadway was last recorded in 2001, according to city records, when it traded to A Plus Realty Corporation. The Manhasset-based entity still appears to own the parcels. It is possible that Rabsky may be in the process of purchasing the property or has agreed to some other ownership structure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The residential development company founded by Simon Dushinsky and Isaac Rabinowitz is known for large-scale projects throughout Brooklyn, including the 35-story, 102-unit 625 Fulton Street project in Downtown Brooklyn, for which it recently secured $765 million in refinancing<\/a> from J.P. Morgan Chase<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
