Closings more than doubled compared to a year ago, and were also up 26% from 2021’s first quarter. The number of contracts signed during the second quarter set a new record, so expect the number of closings to rise sharply in 3Q21. I’m also happy to announce we have made two major changes to our Brooklyn quarterly report beginning with this issue. First, instead of reporting on just four major areas, we now have data for 12 neighborhood groupings. This will allow us to present more localized and relevant data to you. Secondly, we are now just reporting on apartments, as townhouses will now have their own semiannual report.

    New York City Housing Development Corporation

    New York City Housing Development Corporation 2000 Annual Report foundation for the future Building on a record of success by financing quality affordable housing that brings new purpose and vitality to New York City’s neighborhoods. Building on our strong foundation his past fiscal year marked more than just the new millennium for HDC. While the Corporation continued its extraor- dinary record of financial support for affordable housing in New York City, HDC focused both internally and exter- Tnally on laying a foundation for the future. No one can deny that New York City has experienced an extraordinary rebirth over the last seven years. The economy is booming. Crime has been drastically reduced. Tourists from around the country and the world are enjoying the best that New York has to offer. The most important aspect of this metamorphosis, however, is that people want to live in New York City once again, as evidenced by 2000 Census data showing that the population has increased by more than 600,000 since 1996. The private market has aimed to meet the resulting increased demand for housing by constructing and rehabilitating market-rate units in Manhattan. But this increase in supply has not offset increased demand significantly enough to provide low- and middle-income New Yorkers with adequate quantities of viable housing. Furthermore, the private-market-driven housing renaissance has been most apparent in Manhattan and has extended only slowly to communities in Upper Manhattan and the other boroughs. These neighborhoods have for some time contained not only large volumes of vacant, often grand buildings, but also a majority of the population that most desperately needs quality affordable housing.

    For Immediate Release: Capitol Theatre and Headcount Offer Scholarships for Local Teachers to Attend Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CAPITOL THEATRE AND HEADCOUNT OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS FOR LOCAL TEACHERS TO ATTEND ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM SUMMER TEACHER INSTITUTE The Capitol Theatre has set aside its very best seats for a charitable program to send area schoolteachers to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for a week of intensive curriculum training. Concertgoers can bid on the coveted Presidential Box—four seats directly overlooking the stage—for most events at the historic Theatre, including recent performances by B.B. King, The Black Crowes, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Drive-By Truckers, Phish's Trey Anastasio, and Furthur's 9-show sold-out run kicking off this week. Proceeds from each Box auction will directly fund scholarships to the Rock Hall's Summer Teacher Institute. The scholarships are part of the "Capitol Community" program that the Theatre runs in partnership with the non-profit organization HeadCount and are open to fulltime educators at accredited learning institutions in Westchester (NY) and Fairfield (CT) counties. Winners will be awarded the full cost of tuition, and in some cases also have their travel and lodging costs covered. Additional funds from the auctions will also be directed to charities selected by artists appearing at the Cap. "Each Presidential Box auction is a chance for an individual to directly support education in the area," says HeadCount executive director Andy Bernstein. "And by bringing rock history into classrooms, we’ll be opening kids’ minds in a whole new way.” More information, including a list of current auctions and the scholarship application, can be found at http://www.thecapitoltheatre.com/capitolcommunity.

  • The Brooklyn Navy Yard Is Reinventing

    The Brooklyn Navy Yard Is Reinventing

    NEW YORK BROOKLYN NAVY YARD BROOKLYN NAVY YARD RENDERINGS Exclusive: The Brooklyn Navy Yard is 7 reinventing architecture—and itself A new master plan and rezoning calls for three “vertical manufacturing” buildings, increased public access, and more educational programming By Diana Budds Sep 27, 2018, 11:02am EDT The Brooklyn Navy Yard released a new master plan that includes 5.1 million square feet of new development | Courtesy BNYDC and WXY Fifty years ago, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was launching ships; today, it’s launching startups. This evolution is no clearer than from atop Building 77, a World War II-era factory in the throes of reinvention. The ground floor’s polished concrete main hall features soon-to-open eateries, each with food production facilities behind their retail stalls. New windows usher light and air into the open-plan floors (much of the 16-story building didn’t have any windows originally). Tech companies, fashion brands, architecture firms, jewelry companies, and film production studios occupy the levels above. But take the elevator to the 16th floor, step onto the roof, and survey the panorama: You’ll spy Brooklyn Grange, a 1.5-acre rooftop farm; WeWork’s slick new headquarters in Dock 72, a 17-story, 675,000-square-foot glass office building; and a caravan of NYC ferries docked where warships once moored. Here, the new economy of New York is emerging—at least, that’s what the city and Navy Yard’s management hopes—and it’s ramping up the scale of this ambition. With a new NYC Ferry landing opening in 2019, increasing connectivity between the dock, located in the back of the Navy Yard, and the street (about a five-minute walk away) is a challenge.
  • Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard: a National Model for Sustainable Urban Industrial Job Creation

    Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard: a National Model for Sustainable Urban Industrial Job Creation

    Defence Sites 199 Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard: a national model for sustainable urban industrial job creation A. H. Kimball & D. Romano Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, USA Abstract When the federal government decommissioned the nation’s foremost naval shipbuilding facility in 1966, it was a devastating blow to Brooklyn’s economy. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost and the rusting, dilapidated Yard came to symbolize the massive loss of urban manufacturing jobs in New York and across the United States. Acquired by the City of New York in 1969, Yard management struggled to rekindle large-scale manufacturing and the days of the smoke stacks. It wasn’t until the late-1980s, under the leadership of new management, Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC), that the Yard began to turn the corner, emerging from near bankruptcy by focusing on a new kind of tenant. Very small, often creative class-driven, light industrial businesses with long-term relevance to New York City’s economy began to populate Yard buildings. Today the Navy Yard is widely recognized as a national model for the creation of well-paying urban industrial jobs. Having doubled its employment in the last ten years, the Yard is now home to more than 275 local businesses and 6,000 people who work in a variety of industries from traditional maritime to media, medicine, high-end craft, and green manufacturing. Over the next two years, BNYDC will add nearly two million square feet of new space and 2,000 new jobs. Investments in cutting-edge green infrastructure have nurtured a rapidly growing cluster of green manufacturers, lowered the Yard’s carbon footprint and made it a better neighbor to surrounding communities.
