Brooklyn-based developer Tolib Mansurov is moving forward with a new mixed-use development in Park Slope, adding to his growing footprint in the borough’s competitive real estate market. Mansurov recently submitted plans to the New York City Department of Buildings for an eight-story structure at 250 Flatbush Avenue. The project, spanning roughly 35,400 square feet, will feature 20 residential units alongside approximately 8,300 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, complemented by a private 20-foot backyard.
Mansurov acquired the site in February 2022 for about $7.5 million, according to city property records, signaling continued investment in one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The design is being led by Alexander Zhitnik of Z Architecture, known for his work on contemporary mixed-use developments throughout the city. While Mansurov and his company, United Elite Group, declined to comment, the filing underscores their continued activity despite recent public scrutiny.
Earlier this year, Mansurov attracted significant media attention due to allegations of acting as a straw donor during former Mayor Eric Adams’ initial election campaign. The case was dismissed controversially under the Trump administration, but it placed Mansurov in the political spotlight. Notwithstanding these challenges, he has remained an active player in the Brooklyn real estate scene.
In July 2024, Mansurov filed plans for a sizable 99-unit residential building at 67 Fourth Avenue, also in Park Slope. Additionally, he sold six adjacent properties in the neighborhood to Borough Developers’ COO Shimon Kleinman for $24 million in September, reflecting an ongoing reshuffling and expansion strategy. This latest Flatbush Avenue project signals Mansurov’s intent to deepen his presence in Park Slope’s evolving urban landscape amid a backdrop of political and market complexities.
