Brooklyn residential projects dominated April’s list of biggest new projects. Multiple two-story townhomes will make way for six- or eight-story residential buildings on the borough’s outskirts. Also notable this month are the conversion permit for the Pavilion Theater in Park Slope and the plans to build a movie studio in the Bronx that is supposed to be part of a roughly 300,000-square-foot waterfront campus. Only two projects in the month’s top 10 were located in Manhattan, while Brooklyn had six. Only one project bigger than 100,000 square feet was filed in April, according to data from PropertyShark.
