Construction on the first phase of Cammeby International's Neptune/Sixth—a Coney Island mixed-use redevelopment of the former Trump Village Shopping Center and Royal Palace Bath—has commenced and is slated to bring a seven-story, 161k SF retail and commercial building to 626 Sheepshead Bay Road by next summer.

The firm’s also beginning site work for a 90k SF retail space at 532 Neptune Ave. The project’s second phase, which will include a residential component, isn’t expected to break ground until late next year.

S9 Architecture design principal Navid Maqami says S9 is focused on transforming the neighborhood’s “existing fabric” while still keeping what’s essential to Coney Island residents and businesses.

The Winick Realty Group will serve as the retail leasing agent for the community, while the Lawrence Group will oversee office leasing. We reported earlier that Trump Village businesses will be allowed to move into the community when completed, but this wasn't confirmed with the most recent announcement.
