Shopping center could come to Red Hook

A six-level Shopping Plaza with BJ’s Wholesale Club and several other stores and residential units could come to the Red Hook waterfront. The Brooklyn Paper reports that developer Joe Sitt wants to renovate a historic warehouse on the former Revere sugar refinery site and erect several new buildings for shopping, parking, and housing. He also plans to create a 40-foot-wide public esplanade by 2011, along the water’s Edge On Beard Street, next door to the recently opened Ikea.
