Myrtle Kent Development LLC paid $5 million for 620 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn on June 3, then filed to take the building from 3 stories to 8 on Sept. 25, 114 days later, per ACRIS and the Department of Buildings.

Why it matters

The site sits on the Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant edge. The Sept. 25 filing is a DOB NOW ALT-CO (job B01465248-I1) that replaces 4 existing dwelling units with 8 and lists an initial cost of $1,358,560. It was still waiting for a plan examiner as of this report. Because it is an 8-story job, DOB routes it to its Development Hub unit. The seller, 620 Myrtle Avenue, LLC, had held the lot since November 2019. Developers who track Brooklyn corridor assemblages can use the 114-day gap as a benchmark for how fast a new owner moved from closing to a filing. We could not find a named company behind the buyer LLC; the filing lists an owner individual and a filing representative, and we are not naming either.

The numbers

The deed is dated June 3 and was recorded June 23 at $5,000,000. The seller bought the same lot for $3,100,000 on Nov. 14, 2019, so the sale was $1.9 million, or 61%, above that price. The buyer signed a $4,000,000 loan agreement with Levon NY MCXXVI LLC the same day, equal to 80% of the price. The DOB filing proposes 8 units on 8 stories from 4 units on 3 stories, so the price works out to $625,000 per proposed unit before construction. That figure is our math, not a number in either record.

What’s next

Watch for a plan examiner assignment and the first approval or objection on job B01465248-I1, and for a demolition or foundation permit. The record does not say whether the existing building stays in place or is replaced, so the ALT-CO label alone does not settle that.
