Brooklyn New Development Brooklyn | New Development Market Report | Q2 2020 Brooklyn New Development Due to the global pandemic and the resulting lockdown, new development sales in Brooklyn fell sharply from the same time last year. From April through part of June, construction was halted and in-person showings were prohibited. Thus, active listings inventory dropped 10.6%. And while sales activity was down 30.5% from Q2 2019, it was down by 12% from Q1 2020. A positive sign that the market is ready to rebound is that the new development price figure is trending upward compared to Q1 2020. With less inventory on the market, the average sales price per square foot hit record highs and the median sales price was up 18.2% from Q1 2020.

  • Gentrifying Crown Heights by Marlon Peterson (2011)
    Crown Heights 1 Marlon Peterson [email protected] [email protected] Crown Heights: The Question of Gentrification, Violence, Social Disorganization, and Social Preservation. More questions than answers and the inevitability of neighborhood harms cased by gentrification. How does a community minimize the problems of in-migration? Crown Heights 2 “In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth. –Genesis 1:1 (New World Translation) “Crown Heights Brooklyn is my home. From the hallways of P.S. 138 on Prospect Place and Nostrand Avenue to Brower Park to Sonatas Steel Orchestra on Sterling and Troy to the West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway, Crown Heights is my home. I am a true product of this neighborhood. I have received academic accolades in one vein and handcuffs in the other. I have seen Crown Heights grow from the crack-filled, crime- riddled days of the 1980’s to the gentrifying neighborhood it is becoming. Throughout it all, however, there has remained one constant; crime” (Peterson, yosos.org). When I grew up in Crown Heights during the 1980’s and 1990’s Prospect Heights was only the name of a notoriously low performing school with an even more infamous nickname for the way young girls from that school were viewed—Prostitute’ Heights.’ Now this name, Prospect Heights—still with the dubious nickname for the high school according to neighborhood teens—is the chic new name of an expanding co-opted section of Crown Heights. Real estate companies in an effort to sell homes at higher rates constantly increase the boundaries of Prospect Heights into the neighborhood formerly known as Crown Heights.

  • Narrative Summary of Constraints and Opportunities Provided to the Panel by NYC DOT
    As presented to the BQE Expert Panel for informational/background purposes only https://bqe-i278.com/en/expert-panel/documents Narrative Summary of Constraints and Opportunities Provided to the panel by NYC DOT What Makes the Project So Complicated? Fixing the BQE is exceptionally complicated due to its unusual design and the constrained site in which it operates. This corridor is sandwiched between Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade and Brooklyn Heights, the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, bustling DUMBO and Vinegar Hill, and an extraordinary volume of infrastructure below – four subway lines, an eight-foot DEP interceptor sewer, and many other utility lines. Creating sufficient space to stage the construction (e.g. to fit equipment like cranes and store materials) is a key challenge that any concept must address. Specifically, any construction concept needs to account for the complexities of working with a cantilever structure, building on or around Furman Street, the surrounding open spaces, and other infrastructure running above and below the BQE. This part of the BQE corridor is also comprised of multiple structures that require different methods of rehabilitation or replacement. Although the triple cantilever is the most well-known portion of this project, the double cantilever and the bridges at Joralemon, Old Fulton, and Columbia Heights all require repair. Cantilever Considerations A traditional bridge structure is usually rehabilitated lane-by-lane. Construction crews shut down a portion of the bridge, repair those areas, and then shift traffic to the rehabilitated section. This type of construction staging is not possible on the triple cantilever due to the unique nature of the BQE.

  • Sunset Park Library
    Sunset Park Library Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) and the Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), a nonprofit with extensive affordable housing and community development experience, are partnering to redevelop Sunset Park Library. They are proposing to build a new 21,000-square-foot branch topped by 49 units of affordable housing—including 9 units reserved for victims of domestic violence. WHY A NEW LIBRARY? Sunset Park has outgrown its library. The neighborhood needs and deserves a larger, better branch. Sunset Park is home to one of Brooklyn’s busiest libraries, with attendance and circulation that rank in the top 10 of Brooklyn Public Library’s 60 branches. At 12,200 square feet, the current branch is too small, and too badly outdated, to meet the needs of the patrons who depend on its collections and services. Sunset Park Library requires more than $6 million in repairs. Its air conditioner is broken and has been replaced by loud porta- ble chillers that do a poor job cooling the branch on hot days. There are only 12 electrical outlets available to patrons, and too much of the library’s space is inaccessible to the public. WHAT WILL THE NEW BRANCH LOOK LIKE? The new Sunset Park Library will be an inviting, inspiring space that is worthy of the great neighborhood it serves. The new Sunset Park Library will meet the needs of today’s library patrons, with modern technology and flexible workspaces. Public feedback will inform the planning and design of the new, larger Sunset Park branch. There will be several community and stakeholder planning sessions to shape the library before it is designed.
