"The plan is to demolish the existing three-story building to make way for 149,000-square-foot development with 125 affordable units, a community center with programming for seniors and children, and a health clinic operated by OBH. Once a Brooklyn Union Gas showroom, 1024 Fulton St. has been vacant for decades. The state purchased the property in 1997, intending to build a community center, but structural issues made the project impossible."
""New York is proving that when we leverage state-owned land and listen to communities, we can build the affordable housing that our neighborhoods and our state needs," she said. " ... This is community-driven development at its best, and it's exactly the kind of investment we need to address our housing crisis.""
"APEX Building Group and Henge Development will work with the nonprofits on construction and development of the more than $111 million project. The state's Office of General Services will assist with the demolition, which must still undergo public review and comment before being finalized."
The state selected a coalition of three nonprofits — the Fifth Avenue Committee, the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, and One Brooklyn Health — to redevelop 1024 Fulton St. The plan calls for demolition of the existing three-story building and construction of a 149,000-square-foot mixed-use development containing 125 affordable housing units, a community center with programming for seniors and children, and a health clinic operated by One Brooklyn Health. APEX Building Group and Henge Development will handle construction on a project exceeding $111 million. The state's Office of General Services will assist with demolition, which must undergo public review and comment before final approval.
