This property has been for a sale for a little while, and is rumored to have recently been sold. It might be torn down.

The property is zoned C8-2, so the new owners will have a hard time building residential.

Here are the listings for site: http://www.masseyknakal.com/listingimages/setup/pdf/1550_Bedford_Avenue_-_Setup.pdf

    That's unfortunate. It's not like there's a massive housing shortage in this city or anything.

    Forty years ago I worked for an auto parts store that delivered to that station. It was called Hilltop Esso at the time.

    The only Gas Station I could ever find in Williamsburg.

    This gas station is on the SW corner.

    Meanwhile, the gas station/car wash on the NE corner of EP and Bedford is about to be up zoned.

    So, in addition to the old theater being razed and built on, it would not surprise me if that gas station/car wash was soon developed.

    In response to this post, Brownstoner did a little digging and has confirmed the site pictured above REMAINS for sale.

    Apparently the realtors are pitching this site to potential buyers as a potential conversion site, meaning that a (in my opinion "Brave") investor could buy it with the hopes that zoning could be changed to allow residential at some point in the future.

    Heard on 880AM this morning that some developer bought a parking garage on 1st ave in midtown Manhattan for 60 (sixty) million just so it could be knocked down and a residential tower could be put up. Seems like housing is the way to go no matter what borough you're in. And to absorb that kind of outlay no doubt the cheap apartments will be going for more than one million.

    As of mid August, this site seems to have not yet been sold:

    No longer for sale.... Don't know who/what etc.

  • dmiamidmiami

    This place, as well as the gas station on the corner of Bedford and Empire, is boarded up and permits to remove the tanks and canopy’s are pending. Both are owned by Conoco Phillips. I don't think the lot was actually sold.

  • whynot_31whynot_31

    As a result of your post, I walked by there last night.

    Yes, it definitely seems they are making this lot into "something else". Given it's zoning and excellent location, it would not surprise me if we ended up with a health care facility.

    ...with maybe a bank and a drug store on the first floor.

  • dmiamidmiami

    Permits were approved to start removing the gas tanks at Empire and Bedford. It's safe to assume that this will no longer be a gas station.

    I hope it won't become more mini storage.

  • whynot_31whynot_31

    Because both sites had/have the same owners, I do wonder if we will have a new use that is the same for each.

    It is zoned commerical, but beyond that I don't know.They may simply be "clearing and cleaning" the site at this time.....then, they will advertise the site as ready to be built upon to a new buyer. Given its proximity to the soon-to-be-repurposed armory, this site could have a lot of uses.

    That's an interesting place to put a hotel. Then again, if a hotel can be built on Utica Avenue, why not there?
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    Friends of mine have been craving a nearby, not luxurious, hotel as a place to put their parents when they visit.

    If this plan comes to fruition, I think the owners will do well.

    Let's just hope that the hotel doesn't fall victim to a bedbug problem. 
  • dmiami2dmiami2
    This property and the gas station on Bedford and Empire are owned by the same company.   They are removing the underground gas tanks at both locations....same crew at both locations.    Since i doubt Marriott is building on both sites i would assume a transaction has taken place yet.   

    Marriott has a lot of flavors of hotels, i figure this one would be a Courtyard or Residence Inn. 

    This lot (EP and Bedford) has got to be more valuable, even though we don't know what the armory will be yet.  

    Who knows, perhaps a hotel is not so certain

    I would agree as it is just one block away from a subway station (Franklin Avenue) and closer to the developments on Franklin Avenue. If one were to walk a couple of blocks more and one woulod arrive at the Brooklyn Museum and one block more at the Botanic Garden.

    Today I learned that while the gas station and $1.99 combos are history, one important artifact remains: The $1.99 sign.

    While the gas tanks and awning have been removed, the convenience store building remains.

    Also, the signs on the construction plywood indicate the owner is Cumberland Farms, a convenience store chain:

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_Farms

    This makes me wonder whether my source that said "Marriott Hotel franchise" is correct.

    Also, the site is only zoned for 38k buildable sf.

    I'm now leaning toward the site becoming a convenience store with gas tanks in a different location than the prior one.

    If they don't tear down the building soon, this seems likely.
  • southeastsoutheast
    I was so looking forward to a decent hotel in this area. The ones on Atlantic are too far to put family and Utica is not an option. I don't know of any others.
  • dmiami2dmiami2
    edited April 2014
    Cumberland Farms is the current operating owner...   There is a Trust that owns this property and a number of others in Queens and Brooklyn, including the property on Empire and Bedford.   The Trust appears to be preparing to sell off a number of these properties (profit taking probably).  I still don't think a deal has been done but they are preparing for it by removing tanks etc.    It certainly could become another gas station but i would think the property is too expensive for that now (although zoning could be a limiting factor).


  • whynot_31whynot_31
    Do you know how long the Cumberland Farms trust has owned the properties?

    Did they recently buy them en mass?     ...this would lead me to speculate that they didn't really want all of them.

    Yes, it makes sense to me that they would have the skills/connections to dismantle a gas station in a manner that was less expensive than a new buyer, hence bringing value.


  • dmiami2dmiami2
    I think the Trust has owned the property since early 2000's. I think it's part of an employee benifits program held over from when Conocophillip acquired Tosco.
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    I find it odd that they have not applied for permits to demolish the gas station.    So far, there are only permits to remove the underground tanks and the awning that was above the pumps:


    It would not surprise me if there were still hotdogs and soda in the gas station, waiting for someone with $1.99.
  • dmiami2dmiami2
    While the under ground tanks are huge pain in the butt for a buyer... the existing building is not.  It has sewer, electric, potentially gas lines all installed and protected in the building.   Having some of this in place already "could" be a benefit to a buyer.  Certainly it's not worth the expense for the current owner to demolish it (unlike the tanks and the canopy).    

    Plus all the Twinkies will still be good for another 10 years.   :)
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    Assuming that the entity who reportedly wants to open a Marriott franchise doesn't already have an Option To Purchase in place, if I was Cumberland Farms, I would wait to sell this place until the new use for the armory becomes clear.

    As per the first post, the lot is zoned commmercial.

    A hotel would conform with this zoning, but an apartment building would not.

    So, unless the developers get a variance....
  • crownheightstercrownheightster
    ...maybe that is why it is taking so long to get some movement on this location? Perhaps the developers are trying to get a residential variance!

    Although, I do think that a TASTEFUL hotel would do some great business. There are a lot of visitors in our area, especially during the Jewish high holy days, that would benefit from a nice hotel. And it would be great to have a hotel because they could provide additional meeting and event space.
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    edited July 2014
    When a variance for this size of site is requested, there is usually public notice and some media coverage.

    While I don't spent all of my time looking for such things, I consider myself pretty aware and have not seen anything of the sort.

    We may need to be patient.

    Someone stole the chain link fence a few weeks ago. I believe this implies chain link fence is valuable.
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    From a source I believe to be reliable, this site will remain vacant until the plan for the reuse of the nearby armory is established.

    In the current environment, the vacant lot might be appreciating at 15% a year.

    Why rush...
  • whynot_31whynot_31
    The former gas station across the street (1550 Bedford) was officially signed over to "1550 Bedford Ave LLC" for $7.2M... I believe whoever created this LLC is the new owner that will develop the lot. 

    The lot was part of $41M REIT that included the gas station on Empire and Bedford, as well as others...  The gas station on Empire is slated to become another storage facility, probably somewhat due to the limited options the site is zoned for.

    I have been hearing that "it is a pretty certain that we will get a hotel here or behind the armory. At this time, the armory option would require a variance, but this site would not".

    Today, I am pleased to announce that a Marriott brand will be constructing a hotel at a yet-to-be-disclosed BROOKLYN location. Said hotel will not be luxurious, and have smaller than usual rooms to cater to young travelers:

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-19/lightstone-committing-2-billion-to-hotel-projects

    ...sounds promising.

    Note: This site is likely to be rezoned residential during the rezoning of Western CB9, which may be a more profitable use than a hotel. Likewise, the rear portion of the armory is likely to be rezoned residential in the rezoning if that matches the plan for the site.

    Yes, I believe a hotel is allowed on the Western Beef site. However, I think that site would command more as residential due to its proximity to the park and the subway.

    Young people looking for a cool Brooklyn vacation, probably.

    Though, to me, it seems like a more likely site for such a hotel would be in some of the M-zoned land around Williamsburg. There's a lot of that right off the Grand, Graham, and Montrose stops, which are pretty prime for Williamsburg and very close to Manhattan.

  • whynot_31whynot_31
    Yes.

    It will also be a boom to other "price conscious" grocery stores in the area, and the car services that transport shoppers home from them.

    I am betting we get a hotel on this site (the former Gulf Station) or the armory garage before we get one at Western Beef. Western Beef seems quite busy, and I assume they are able to translate that into a profit.

    Whereas the Gulf Station site is vacant, and the "masters of the armory" would like an ongoing cash flow to subsidize the big drill hall for the public.

    At the current pace, real estate "west of Kingston Avenue" may become so valuable that supermarkets mostly utilize the basements of midrise buildings.

    This is the norm in Manhattan, as well as many dense residential areas throughout the country.

    Ten years from now, I see "us" meeting this definition. ...the days of the local, single story supermarket with parking lot are rapidly drawing to a close.

    Back in August this property (1550 Bedford) and another (169 Graham Ave) were purchased by All Year Management.  I believe this lot went for about $10M.  

    Recently a new building was filed with the DOB for the Graham Ave location, for a new residential building by ODA, a familiar architect group.    The same guys that designed 608 Franklin.  http://oda-architecture.com/projects/608-franklin-avenue

    We'll see what the means for the location on Bedford.   Even with the Armory usage up in the air I think these guys will want to develop the lot soon and get a return.  

    I predict residential with commercial on the first floor.

    Yes, I think they will have commercial on the first floor.

    I don't see the zoning for this site as being related to the projects on the other (aka north) side of EP.

    At this time CB9 has requested that DCP do a zoning study.   However, DCP is not under a deadline to complete it, or even to do one.

    A hotel is allowed under present zoning.    However, it would not surprise me if we see a variance requested to allow commercial.

    ...the investors may conclude that the nearby armory project makes demand for a hotel greater than that for residential.

    Homeless shelters and jails for Crown Heights and down with the gentrification, right?

    Update: A historically reliable source informs me that this lot is owned by a small hotel chain, which has about 5 locations in New York City. Another hotel will be built here. It will be constructed by the same developer that created the building at Franklin and Dean: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45145/the-part-of-the-old-brewery-that-is-becoming-a-huge-complex-franklin-dean#Item_40 Demolition of the remains of the gas station may happen as early as Fall 2017. ...they are not waiting for the city to get its act together re: the armory.

    Makes sense that it's the same developer. This one (@ EP & bedford) has an Israeli flag perched on its roof.

    @Marco555 confused about your logic. Why does it make sense that Franklin and Dean developer who built the good-looking new building, not the one under construction with the Isreali flag, would be doing hotel? Personally I think that's good news. The building on Franklin and Dean tho crazy expensive to live in sure does look good. Dying to know which chain @whynot_31 ...
