Plan Unveiled for Adding 4K Affordable Homes to Brooklyn
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Department of City Planning have released a draft zoning framework for the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan. This plan aims to create approximately 4,000 new homes, including up to 1,550 income-restricted homes, in Central Brooklyn.
Additionally, the city is investing $23.9 million in St. Andrew’s Playground, an open space adjacent to Atlantic Avenue. This initiative follows months of public engagement and community discussions. The draft zoning framework proposes a high-density mix of housing and commercial uses along Atlantic Avenue, with special incentives for mixed-use development and affordable housing opportunities at specific sites. The proposal is expected to begin the Uniform Land Use Reform Procedure in spring 2024.
“In the midst of a severe housing shortage, New York City must use every inch of space it can to create new homes and invest in communities across the city,” said Mayor Adams.
