This project is the first newly constructed building to use the upland Inclusionary Housing Program adopted with the rezoning of the Williamsburg/Greenpoint Waterfront in Brooklyn Community Board #1, providing affordable housing in a rapidly gentrifying area. Developed on private land and a municipal parking lot that were rezoned, the 152 affordable apartments are located in two buildings facing both Cook Street and Varet Street. The development features commercial space on Varet Street and an attended public parking garage to replace the prior municipal lot. A deck above the ground floor parking garage holds a landscaped rear yard with a children’s play area and green roof. The building facades incorporate complementary brick and precast colors and feature window returns that bring additional light to the units and highlight the facades at night. |
