Camber, RiseBoro Cut the Ribbon Bushwick Affordable

Camber Property Group and RiseBoro Community Partnership cut the ribbon on 1601 Dekalb Ave., which transformed a former parking lot in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood into a 127-unit, 100%t affordable residential community. The development will provide homes for some of the city’s lowest-income and most vulnerable residents alongside affordable housing for workforce households. 

Camber and RiseBoro co-developed the building, and RiseBoro will manage the property and provide all on-site social services to residents. The development consists of two residential towers connected by a covered walkway and centered around a shared, landscaped courtyard.

“1601 Dekalb represents true mixed-income housing serving New Yorkers across a broad spectrum of income levels and we are thrilled to bring this project to Bushwick,” said Camber pirincipal Rick Gropper. “Thank you to our partners RiseBoro, HPD, HDC, Brooklyn Community Board 4 and our local electeds, for bringing this project to fruition.”
