The Eagle reports that “[a]n LLC formed by Upper West Side-based Quinlan Development Group” has acquired three adjoining buildings on Remsen Street between Clinton and Court: numbers 153, 155, and 157 Remsen (see photo), in a series of transactions for a total of $13.89 million. One of the buildings, 153 Remsen, former home of Saigon Cuisine and offices of the Brooklyn YMCA, is now vacant. The other two have commercial tenants: Wi Pie at 155 and PhysioLogic at 157 (Hair Profiles has vacated the space above PhysioLogic) and apartments above.
The high price paid by the buyer indicates that its intention is to demolish the buildings and construct a new one in their place; probably a multi-story (this block of Remsen is outside the Brooklyn Heights Historic District) residential building, possibly with commercial space at the street level.
