840 Atlantic has new permit filing, indicating two towers instead of one, but that's about it (and McDonald's still operates)

Yes, I saw yesterday's post on New York YIMBY, Permits Filed For Two-Tower Development At 840 Atlantic Avenue In Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, unhelpfully coupled with a rendering of a previous design for a single tower, one that was presumably revised before the project went through small revisions at Community Board 8 and thus at the City Council.

YIMBY doesn't offer links, but a search at the Department of Buildings for Filing Details: Job# B00657569 Filing# I1 does indicate, as YIMBY says, two towers, a new (or additional) architect, Hamish Whitefield Archtects of Albany, and a professed total square footage of 237.197, which may be subject to change.

No renderings are available. The site is at the southeast corner of Atlantic Avenue, just across from the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park B10 site, perhaps the last to be built on (if at all).

"Demolition permits have not been filed yet," says YIMBY, because, guess what, litigation involving McDonald's, which occupies most of the site, is not resolved, and McDonald's is still operating.

My best guess is that the permits have been filed with the expectation of feedback from the DOB, and future revision, in time for resolution of litigation. And that the (murky) development team doesn't have to tell us anything until they want to.
