Brooklyn-based developer Tolib Mansurov is moving forward with a new mixed-use development in Park Slope, signaling continued confidence in the borough’s real estate market despite recent political controversy. Mansurov recently submitted plans to the New York City Department of Buildings for an eight-story building at 250 Flatbush Avenue. The proposed structure spans approximately 35,400 square feet and will feature 20 residential units alongside 8,300 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, complemented by a 20-foot backyard.
Mansurov acquired the site in February 2022 for around $7.5 million from a limited liability company, according to public records. The project’s design is led by Alexander Zhitnik of Z Architecture, a firm known for its work on Brooklyn residential developments. United Elite Group, Mansurov’s real estate firm, has not issued a statement regarding the new project.
The developer made headlines earlier this year following allegations of serving as a straw donor to former Mayor Eric Adams’ initial campaign. The case was dismissed controversially under the Trump administration, but it drew significant media attention. Despite this, Mansurov has remained active in Brooklyn’s real estate scene, recently filing plans for a 99-unit residential building at 67 Fourth Avenue in Park Slope.
In addition to new construction, Mansurov has been engaged in notable property transactions. In September, he sold six adjacent Park Slope sites to Borough Developers’ COO Shimon Kleinman for $24 million, underscoring his ongoing influence in the neighborhood’s development landscape. Mansurov’s expanded portfolio reflects a broader trend of intensified investment in mixed-use properties across Brooklyn, driven by sustained demand for housing and retail space in the borough.
As Park Slope continues to attract both residents and businesses, projects like Mansurov’s 250 Flatbush Avenue development spotlight the evolving dynamics of Brooklyn’s real estate market, balancing residential growth with commercial vitality.
