BAM cultural district
The redevelopment of the area surrounding the Brooklyn Academy of Music has finally gained momentum. Harlem-based developer Carlton A. Brown is leading the way with the district's centerpiece, a mixed-use tower. The building, at Ashland Place and Fulton Street, will have 187 units of mixed-income housing, 4,000 square feet of retail and a 40,000-square-foot choreographic center. Construction is not expected to begin until 2009, but the city has pledged $100 million through 2011 to the BAM cultural district, said Joe Chan, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. [NYT]
