Zoning Zoning Description 773 Hart Street is zoned R6 R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale “tower in the park” developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multifamily buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.

Height Factor Regulations

Buildings developed pursuant to height factor regulations are often tall buildings set back from the street and surrounded by open space and on-site parking. The floor area ratio (FAR) in R6 districts ranges from 0.78 (for a single-story building) to 2.43 at a typical height of 13 stories; the open space ratio (OSR) ranges from 27.5 to 37.5. Generally, the more open space, the taller the building. In the diagram, for example, 81% of the zoning lot with the 13-story building is required to be open space (2.43 FAR × 33.5 OSR). Thus, the maximum floor area ratio is achievable only where the zoning lot is large enough to accommodate a practical building footprint as well as the required amount of open space. There are no height limits for height factor buildings although they must be set within a sky exposure plane which begins at a height of 60 feet above the street line and then slopes inward over the zoning lot. Off-street parking is required for 70% of a building’s dwelling units, or it can be waived if five or fewer spaces are required.

Brooklyn Market Overview

Brooklyn Residential Rental Market

The New York employment market is ranked 3rd in the country. Apartment vacancy rates in the Northeast are the lowest in the country (During the last two recessions, the New York residential market experienced less than 1.0% annual market rent decreases). Brooklyn vacancy rate is expected to stay under 2%.

The strength of the NYC economy means more college graduates migrate to NYC from rest of the country for jobs. Quite often, their rental apartment in Brooklyn becomes their first New York City home. These trends, coupled with a very tight inventory of luxury units, caused rental rates to increase considerably in the last few years.

As a result of the 2009-2010 downturn and the rental boom that followed, there has been very little condo development in Brooklyn over the last 4 years. The lack of condo inventory created a surge in condo pricing over the last few months and a need for quality condo units.

Brooklyn Market Overview

Brooklyn Residential Market

Brooklyn’s easy commute into Manhattan with its many subway lines along with numerous amenities and attractions make it a very appealing location for many New York residents. Brooklyn is the lone borough in which non-regulated apartments outnumber rent-stabilized units. The borough has seen a significant number of new luxury residential rental and condo developments over the last few years particularly in neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Dumbo, & Park Slope. Neighborhoods such as Bushwick and Bedford Stuyvesant are no longer secondary markets; they are now looked at as extremely opportunistic areas.
