Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Area Rezoning: C6-3A & R7A & R6A → R9A & R7D & R6A with MIH & Special District

  • When: 2025/03/27
  • Address: Atlantic Avenue between Vanderbilt Avenue and Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
  • City: New York
  • State: NY
  • Category: Area Rezoning
  • Subcategory: Mixed-Use Rezoning
  • Asset Class: Multifamily
  • Property Type: Affordable Housing
  • Size: 4,600 residential units; 800,000 sq ft of commercial/community/industrial space

The proposal would rezone 21 blocks of Atlantic Avenue from Vanderbilt to Nostrand Avenues, replacing outdated C6-3A/R7A/R6A districts with R9A along the avenue corridor and R7D/R6A to the south. A new Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Special District would require non-residential ground floors on avenues, provide a 20 percent public plaza bonus, establish mandatory inclusionary housing in up-zoned areas, and create an incentive yielding 1.1 FAR of mixed-use mid-block job space. Five city- and state-owned sites would be designated for 100 percent affordable housing (totaling over 600 units) via UDAAP/disposition actions. DOT and Parks will coordinate public realm upgrades, including a 24 million dollar playground renovation and street-improvement projects to enhance sidewalks, crossings, and bike facilities. The plan forecasts 4,600 new homes (including 1,400 income-restricted units) and space for 2,800 new jobs.
