Permits Filed for Brooklyn Armory Redevelopment

Permits to move forward on a 15-story apartment tower at the Bedford Union Armory in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood have been filed with the Department of Buildings, city records show. The applications were filed by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, which has long pushed for a redevelopment of the century-old armory, and Marvel Architects.

“Over the past four years, we have proudly worked with Council Member Cumbo and the Crown Heights community to redevelop a vacant armory into a center of opportunity for this neighborhood,” EDC president James Patchett said in November after the City Council approved the redevelopment. “This project will deliver an accessible world-class recreation center, 250 units of affordable housing for families earning between $25,000 and $57,000 a year, and permanently affordable space for local nonprofits.”
