Brooklyn-based developer Tolib Mansurov is moving forward with an ambitious mixed-use development in the heart of Park Slope. Recent filings with the New York City Department of Buildings reveal plans for an eight-story building spanning approximately 35,400 square feet at 250 Flatbush Avenue. The project is designed to feature 20 residential units above nearly 8,300 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, complemented by a 20-foot backyard, signaling a balanced approach to urban living and retail activity in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Mansurov acquired the property in February 2022 for about $7.5 million, according to city records. The architectural vision is led by Alexander Zhitnik of Z Architecture, a firm with experience in crafting mixed-use spaces that blend residential comfort with commercial viability. Despite multiple requests, Mansurov and his firm, United Elite Group, have not provided comment on the project details or timeline.
The developer’s recent activities come after a high-profile controversy in early 2024, when Mansurov was named as an alleged straw donor in former Mayor Eric Adams’ initial campaign. The case was ultimately dismissed under the Trump administration, a decision that sparked debate across political and legal circles. Despite the scrutiny, Mansurov has maintained an active presence in Brooklyn’s real estate market, signaling resilience and sustained investment in the borough.
Indeed, Mansurov’s recent portfolio expansions include a filing in July for a 99-unit residential building at 67 Fourth Avenue, also in Park Slope, and a significant sale of six adjacent properties to Borough Developers’ COO Shimon Kleinman for $24 million in September. These moves underscore Mansurov’s strategic focus on Park Slope, a neighborhood known for its strong residential demand and commercial vibrancy.
As Park Slope continues to attract both residents and businesses, Mansurov’s latest project at 250 Flatbush Avenue will be a key development to watch. It reflects broader trends in Brooklyn’s real estate landscape where mixed-use buildings are increasingly favored for their ability to foster dynamic, walkable communities. With Manhattan’s market facing rising costs and shifting demand, Brooklyn’s neighborhoods like Park Slope remain critical hubs for urban growth and investment.
