"Controversial Developer Seeks to Build Mixed-Use Tower in Brighton Beach"
"Plans for eight-story tower at 3150 Shore Parkway raise eyebrows in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach neighborhood."
The latest real estate news in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach neighborhood has residents buzzing as controversial developer Vahe Sahakyan of Build R Us Corp. filed permits for an eight-story mixed-use building at 3150 Shore Parkway.
The proposed tower, located at the intersection of Shore Parkway and East 11th Street, has raised concerns among locals due to its close proximity to the Brighton Beach subway station, which is served by the B and Q trains.
According to city records, Sahakyan is listed as the owner behind the applications. While no official statement has been issued, sources close to the project say the tower will include both residential and commercial spaces.
While some are excited about the potential for new development in the area, others are wary of Sahakyan's track record. The developer has faced criticism in the past for his controversial tactics and questionable influence in the city's real estate industry.
One local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed their concerns, saying "We've seen what happens when Sahakyan gets involved in a project. It's always about his bottom line, not the community's needs."
It remains to be seen how the project will progress, but with Sahakyan at the helm, it's sure to be a bumpy ride.
