Brooklyn Developer Tolib Mansurov Advances New Mixed-Use Project in Park Slope Amid Legal Controversy

Brooklyn-based developer Tolib Mansurov is expanding his footprint in Park Slope with plans for an eight-story mixed-use building at 250 Flatbush Avenue. The new development, recently filed with the New York City Department of Buildings, will encompass approximately 35,400 square feet. It is slated to include 20 residential units alongside roughly 8,300 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 20-foot backyard, aiming to enhance the neighborhood’s residential and retail offerings.

Mansurov acquired the property in February 2022 for about $7.5 million, according to city records. The project’s design is led by Alexander Zhitnik of Z Architecture, a firm with experience in Brooklyn’s evolving urban landscape. United Elite Group, Mansurov’s real estate firm, has yet to comment on the development as of this writing.

The developer has remained active in Brooklyn’s real estate scene despite recent legal scrutiny. Earlier this year, Mansurov was publicly linked to allegations of acting as a straw donor during former Mayor Eric Adams’ initial campaign. The case was ultimately dismissed under the Trump administration in a decision that sparked considerable debate. Nonetheless, Mansurov continued to pursue new projects, including the July filing for a 99-unit residential building at 67 Fourth Avenue in Park Slope.

Demonstrating a dynamic approach to his portfolio, Mansurov also sold six adjacent Park Slope sites in September to Borough Developers’ COO Shimon Kleinman for a reported $24 million. This transaction underscores ongoing investor interest in Park Slope amid a competitive Brooklyn real estate market.

Mansurov’s latest project at 250 Flatbush Avenue signals continued confidence in Park Slope’s mixed-use potential, reflecting broader trends in Brooklyn’s residential development and the city’s demand for integrated living and commercial spaces. As the borough evolves, developers like Mansurov are shaping its future despite complex legal and political backdrops.
