Edge developer Jeffrey Levine
The Williamsburg Community Apartments at 135 Kent Avenue and the corner of North 6th Street have been completed. The new complex, built by Jeffrey Levine, chairman of Levine Builders and Douglas Development, was constructed as part of Edge condominium. The entire development contains 1.7 million square feet of affordable rental housing, in addition to market-rate condos, below-grade parking, public piers, a waterfront walkway and parks. A total of 347 affordable housing units were built, making it the largest affordable inclusionary zoning project — which requires a portion of the units to be reserved as affordable for low- and moderate-income households — to be completed in Brooklyn.
