Lundy's Landing Shopping Plaza, located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, is a historic building that has been at the center of a dispute regarding its renovation. The Spanish-style colonial building, which was made a landmark in 1989, was once home to Lundy's, a renowned seafood restaurant. After years of struggling under different owners, Lundy's closed in 2007. Now, plans are underway to open a gourmet food market and cafe in the space, but some local residents and officials argue that the changes being made to the building will compromise the neighborhood's charm and character.
The dispute has sparked a debate between those who believe the renovation is necessary for revitalizing the area and those who want to preserve the building's historical significance. While some residents are happy to see new businesses moving into the old building, others feel that Lundy's should have been rented to another restaurateur. The owner of the gourmet market, David Isaev, is making efforts to restore the building and has faced criticism for altering the facade and removing old Lundy's signs and artifacts. The future of Lundy's Landing Shopping Plaza remains uncertain as the community grapples with the balance between preservation and progress.
