Construction is now underway at 1510 Broadway, the site for a 108-unit affordable housing project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Led by developer MacQuesten Development with support from the East Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation, the building will also offer more than 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

The building is designed by Gluck+ and will top out at eight stories with a mix of income-restricted apartments. This includes 16 apartments for formerly homeless individuals, as well as households with incomes at 40 to 80 percent area median income (AMI). According to original applications with the Department of City Planning, at least half of the units will be offered at 50 percent of the AMI.

Floor plans will range from studios up to three-bedroom layouts.

“I am proud to be developing a property that sat vacant for years to bring much needed housing to a growing party of Brooklyn,” said president and CEO of MacQuesten Development, Rella Fogliano. “Along with the City of New York and our other partners in government and the private sectors, we are helping to continue the revitalization of Brooklyn.”

1510 Broadway is one of several ongoing projects made possible through New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development‘s Extremely Low and Low-Income Affordability Program. Known simply as “ELLA,” the program funds the construction of low-income multi-family developments where most of the units are reserved for households earning up to 80 percent AMI.

  1. Not much for looks, at least from what I can tell.

    People desperately need hundreds more of these projects, but maybe not quite so utilitarian. How about some warm color at least instead of battleship grey?

  3. utilitarian, but not bad for free and nearly free housing with ‘hood retail below. thats fine. so much better than a wasteful empty lot.

  4. Is that a second floor private plaza, or – as it appears from the rendered pedestrians – a second floor entry to a second floor lobby, with access to the building provided by jumping from the train tracks?
