THE revised zoning adopted for Park Slope affects almost all the blocks from Warren Street south to 15th Street and from Third Avenue to Prospect Park, excluding only a manufacturing zone nearer the Gowanus Canal. It gives Brooklyn its largest contextual zoning district, comparable to others adopted in Manhattan over the years.

Its basic idea is to require new construction on built-up streets to reflect the characteristic bulk and height of existing buildings, but at the same time to encourage new larger-scale apartment construction where it is considered appropriate, which in Park Slope has meant Fourth Avenue.

Fourth Avenue is a long, mostly underdeveloped boulevard of great width

Check out The Heritage at Park Slope as its looking nicer with each passing day!

Nine of the 14 listings for apartment going up $1M are shown as being in contract. As Karl Fischer buildings go, The Heritage is sort of middle of the road, neither totally bland as some nor totally different as the others.

I dont believe it would impede with views of the park.
