Community Board 10 looking at Eighth Ave. Center
Hotel, shopping mall, apartments, pre-school planned for site
A massive commercial-residential development on the border of Dyker Heights and Sunset Park is still in the planning stages, but members of Community Board 10 are not waiting until the shovels are in the ground to take a close look at the ambitious project.
The owners of the property at 6208 Eighth Ave. are hoping to develop the site into a massive complex that will include an 11-story hotel, a shopping mall, 250 residential apartments, a health care center, a library and a private pre-school.
Hundreds of jobs will be created as a result of the project, supporters of the development are predicting.
The development has been dubbed the Eighth Avenue Center.
