Located across the street from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this is the first new construction building of the Navy Green project jointly developed by Dunn Development Corp., L&M Development Partners Inc., and Pratt Area Community Council. The site consists of nearly a full city block of vacant land where the former Navy Brig once stood. The co-developers were awarded the rights to develop the site after responding to a Request for Proposals from NYC HPD. The overall site development consists of a mix of rental and homeownership units serving people at a wide range of income levels, commercial and community facility space on Flushing Avenue, plus a shared common green with active and passive recreation areas and landscaping shared by residents of all buildings in the project. This first building provides affordable rental housing with units set aside for families earning up to 40% and 60% of area median income. Navy Green won the prestigious Urban Land Institute New York Award for Excellence in Housing Development in 2017.
