Another affordable condo development rising in Brownsville
The project was one of the first to be approved by the de Blasio administration
Yet another vacant lot in Brooklyn’s farther reaches is falling to Mayor de Blasio’s affordable housing push. A neighborhood “eyesore” in Brownsville will see new life as a four-story, 15-unit affordable condo complex.
The $5.8 million project, located 202 Mother Gaston Boulevard, is being overseen by Habitat for Humanity, which broke ground on the building Wednesday, according to Curbed.
When completed, two-bedroom units will be reserved for first-time buyers with individual salaries of $29,400 to $47,000, or family incomes of $41,950 to $67,100.
The site was one of the first to be approved under Mayor de Blasio’s plan to build or maintain 200,000 affordable units, according to Curbed. [Curbed] – Christopher Cameron
