Is Prospect-Lefferts Gardens the New It Neighborhood in Brooklyn?
Feb. 20, 2015 — Move over, Williamsburg. Epic Commercial Realty CEO Yona Edelkopf believes Prospect-Lefferts Gardens is the next big things in Brooklyn. Why? Edelkopf said in a statement quoted by DNAinfo.com that the neighborhood is getting a lot of "continuous attention" from investors and developers thanks to larger-scale condo and rental developments in the area. Just last week, a parking lot at 227 Clarkson Avenue sold for $1.35 million to Brookland Capital, a developer that plans to build condos on the property. DNAinfo adds that "the lot is one of more than a dozen development and construction projects in the area, where the local community board has been considering controversial changes to zoning rules meant to regulate the building boom."
