Shema Kolainu, the well-known organization providing services to children with autism and developmental disabilities, is planning a major new eight-story community facility in Boro Park, following its $4.2 million purchase of a property on 43rd Street earlier this year.

The proposed development is located at 1022 43rd Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues, where an existing two-story building would be replaced by a significantly larger facility.

According to construction plans filed with the New York City Department of Buildings on October 8, the proposed eight-story building would include approximately 49,572 square feet of space, along with a cellar. The estimated construction cost listed in the filing is approximately $6.69 million.

Property records show that Shema Kolainu purchased the site in January 2026 for $4.2 million, bringing the combined property acquisition price and estimated construction cost to nearly $11 million.

Shema Kolainu, provides educational and therapeutic services to children with autism and other developmental disabilities. The organization has long been involved in supporting children and families through specialized programs and services.

The plans are currently pending review by the Department of Buildings, and construction has not yet been approved. If approved, the project would mark a significant expansion of community facility space.
