East New York is going to get 2,100 more units of affordable housing
Christian Cultural Center and Gotham Organization have partnered on project
New York’s Christian Cultural Center is partnering with Gotham Organization on a massive new affordable housing complex in East New York.
The buildings will include 2,100 apartments for low- and middle-income families and include senior housing as well, according to New York YIMBY. They will be constructed on a vacant parking lot at the church’s Brooklyn campus, which is based as 12020 Flatlands Avenue.
Amenities will include 24-hour child care, a grocery store and a performing arts center, and the project will feature more than two acres of public outdoor space as well. It will also feature a shuttle service running from the complex to the L and 3 trains.
Vishaan Chakrabarti from the Practice for Architecture and Urbanism will design the project.
East New York went through a controversial rezoning in 2016, and developers have planned multiple projects for the neighborhood since then. These include a 218-unit housing complex at 50 Pennsylvania Avenue from Pennrose Properties and a pair of hotels at 51 and 55 Sheffield Avenue from Nehalkumar Gandhi. [YIMBY] – Eddie Small
