Simon Dushinsky and Isaac Rabinowitz’s Rabsky Group purchased the Union Avenue site from Pfizer in 2012 for $12.75 million, according to property records. It is located very close to its larger 1,146-unit Broadway Triangle project at 200 Harrison Avenue, but the company appears to be planning them as separate buildings.

Representatives for Rabsky Group did not respond to a request for comment.

Rabsky, one of Brooklyn’s most prolific developers, recently llanded a refinancing package for more than $200 million for its Rheingold Brewery site at 10 Montieth Street in August and closed on buying 313-331 Bond Street in Gowanus from All Year Management for $95 million.
