The City Council recently approved the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan, which will transform a 21-block area in central Brooklyn by replacing industrial facilities with high-rise apartments and enhanced retail spaces. The plan is designed to provide 4,600 new residential units, with 1,900 classified as permanently affordable. Infrastructure improvements will accompany these developments, helping to address the growing demand for housing in a rapidly developing region. The initiative highlights a strategy to create unified urban growth while ensuring accessibility for lower-income households.
The Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan will replace low-lying industrial buildings in Brooklyn with apartment towers and mixed-use districts, creating around 4,600 new homes, including affordable options.
The rezoning will allow for buildings up to 185 feet and mandate infrastructure investments. Approximately 40% of new homes will be affordable, benefiting various income levels.
