Capstone Equities, the Carlyle Group and Slate entered contract in June to buy two parcels near the intersection of Flatbush and Fulton Street for $35 million, as previously reported.

The three firms jointly own the site, but Slate filed the permits and is developing it. Goldstein Hill & West Architects are handling the building’s design. [NY YIMBY]Mark Maurer
