William Ingraham, GDC’s president, filed a permit with the New York City Department of Buildings to demolish the 33,660-square-foot building at 11-24 45th Road, as The Real Deal first reported. That site holds 114,000 buildable square feet.

The lot at 45-35 11th Street is zoned for both manufacturing and residential use and also allows for a building roughly three times larger than the 13,400-square-foot factory on site, according to property records.

A Santander spokesperson declined to comment. GDC Properties did not return requests for comment.

The private developer Samuel Ginsburg founded the company, which specializes in retail and residential development in multiple states, in 1994.
