Public review has officially kicked off for the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan, a community-led proposal for new housing, jobs, and infrastructure investments in Brooklyn. The proposal focuses on a 21-block stretch of Atlantic Avenue and neighboring blocks in Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Developed by the New York City Department of City Planning in collaboration with NYC council members Crystal Hudson and Chi Ossé, the plan aims to create approximately 4,600 new homes, including 1,440 permanently income-restricted affordable units, along with 2,800 permanent new jobs.
Construction is wrapping up on 1510 Broadway, an eight-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Designed by Gluck+ and developed by MacQuesten Development, East Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation, and the Local Development Corporation of East New York, the structure will yield 108 rental units in studio- to three-bedroom layouts with 90 dedicated to affordable housing and the remaining 18 set aside for formerly homeless residents referred through city and nonprofit programs. The project will also house 9,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The property is located on a formerly vacant lot bound by Jefferson Avenue to the north, Hancock Street to the south, Broadway to the northeast, and Saratoga Avenue to the west.
