Mike Kohn’s Alliance Capital Partners filed plans to build a residential complex with nearly 230 apartments at the former Cascade Linen Factory in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Plans call for seven six-story buildings at 90-134 Stockton Street, 567-569 Marcy Avenue and 833-869 Myrtle Avenue, according to plans filed Monday with the city’s Department of Buildings. The buildings would have between 25 units and 45 units each.

Kohn’s Alliance Capital Partners, a real estate capital intermediary, bought the former warehouse at 835 Myrtle Avenue last year from General Linen Supply & Laundry Co. for $27 million. The linen supplier shuttered in 2010.

As of last summer, Alliance Capital was reportedly in talks to sell the site for $60 million to a group of buyers from the Satmar community.

Calls to Alliance weren’t immediately returned on Monday. New York YIMBY first reported news of the project, which will be targeted toward members of the Satmar community.

After a rezoning, the site offers 450,000 square feet of residential space, as well as about 100,000 square feet of commercial.
