"If built as envisioned, the site would be carved into two districts: BMT North, with most of the housing and a new destination park linked to Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Atlantic Basin, anchored by a new cruise terminal, hotel and industrial hub. Building heights could reach 425 feet near Pier 7, though Atlantic Basin tops out at 325 feet. At least 40% of the housing is slated to be permanently affordable, with 200 apartments reserved for current NYCHA residents in Red Hook."
"Supporters are calling it a once-in-a-generation investment. "Today, our city took a massive step towards the future," Mayor Eric Adams said after Monday's vote, pitching the project as a way to unlock "opportunity for generations to come." Borough President Antonio Reynoso, initially a skeptic, changed his stance to support after negotiators reduced the housing count from 12,000 to 6,000 units and added more space for industry and oversight."
A city-state task force advanced the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan to redevelop 122 acres of industrial waterfront in Red Hook and the Columbia Street Waterfront District into mixed-use neighborhoods. The proposal could deliver up to 6,000 homes, a rebuilt port, new parks, and expanded industrial space. The site would be split into BMT North, concentrating most housing and a destination park, and Atlantic Basin, focused on a cruise terminal, hotel and industrial hub. Building heights would reach up to 425 feet near Pier 7. At least 40% of housing would be permanently affordable, including 200 units reserved for current NYCHA residents.
