Brooklyn-based developer Tolib Mansurov is moving forward with a new mixed-use development in Park Slope, signaling continued expansion in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods. Mansurov recently filed plans with the New York City Department of Buildings for an eight-story structure at 250 Flatbush Avenue. The project will span approximately 35,400 square feet and feature 20 residential units alongside roughly 8,300 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, complemented by a 20-foot backyard.
The site was acquired by Mansurov in February 2022 for about $7.5 million, according to public records. The building’s design is led by Alexander Zhitnik of Z Architecture, a firm known for its work on contemporary mixed-use properties in the city. Despite multiple requests, Mansurov and his United Elite Group have not commented on the project.
Mansurov’s name has drawn attention beyond real estate circles. Earlier this year, he was implicated as an alleged straw donor to former Mayor Eric Adams’ initial election campaign. The allegations were dropped following a controversial dismissal under the Trump administration, allowing Mansurov to maintain his active presence in Brooklyn’s development scene.
Indeed, Mansurov has remained notably active in Park Slope, having filed plans in July for a 99-unit residential building at 67 Fourth Avenue. Additionally, in September, he sold six adjacent properties in the neighborhood to Shimon Kleinman, COO of Williamsburg-based Borough Developers, for $24 million. These moves indicate a strategic consolidation and expansion approach within one of Brooklyn’s rapidly evolving real estate markets.
This latest project at Flatbush Avenue reflects ongoing demand for mixed-use developments in Park Slope, balancing residential growth with retail and commercial opportunities. As the neighborhood continues to attract both residents and businesses, developers like Mansurov are positioning themselves to capitalize on the area’s robust market dynamics despite past controversies.
