Totem Commences Environmental Review on BK Mixed-Use Project 

Totem, a Brooklyn real estate development firm, announced its milestone in reimagining Broadway Junction’s 94,000-square-foot area into Herkimer-Williams, a mixed-use hub in Brooklyn. A public hearing at the New York City Department of City Planning formally kicks off the environmental review process that will study the project and its impact over the next several months. 

The plan entails constructing 600 affordable housing units, 120,000 square feet of community facilities, and 24,000 square feet of public space for events. It also includes one million square feet of commercial, industrial, and retail space, fostering hundreds of jobs. 

“Years of community visioning have made clear there is a need to increase affordable housing, economic opportunity, and public space in East New York. Herkimer-Williams is a plan grounded in addressing these challenges at Broadway Junction — one of the city’s busiest transit hubs where there is great potential for community-driven development, building on public investments in the area,” said Tucker Reed, co-founder and principal of Totem.
