The New York City Council approved the rezoning of 441 and 467 Prospect Avenue in Brooklyn, modifying the Zoning Map from an R5B District to an R7A District, facilitating the development of two 13-story residential buildings. The project includes approximately 248,000 square feet of residential space with 244 dwelling units, of which 61 will be permanently affordable under the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) program. The approval modifies the City Planning Commission’s decision, ensuring greater housing density and affordability in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn. The zoning text amendment associated with this change formally establishes the MIH area for long-term affordability commitments.
This rezoning increases housing capacity in a desirable area while ensuring a substantial portion remains permanently affordable. The shift to R7A allows for taller buildings and higher residential density, supporting the city’s goals for equitable housing growth.
