Three Brooklyn organizations will help transform long-dormant, state-owned land in Clinton Hill into a mixed-use development featuring housing, community space and a health care center.
The building, at 1024 Fulton St., will be developed and owned by a nonprofit partnership consisting of Fifth Avenue Committee, Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation and One Brooklyn Health, state officials said.
The team will work with APEX Building Group and Henge Development, both certified under the state’s Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise program, for general contracting and project management.
The approximately 149,000-square-foot development will include apartments serving households earning between 30% and 80% of the Area Median Income, with units ranging from studios to three bedrooms. Plans also call for a 27,000-square-foot intergenerational community center operated by Fort Greene Council, offering programming for older adults and early childhood education, as well as a 1,000-square-foot health clinic operated by One Brooklyn Health.
Sustainability features will include Passive House certification, all-electric building systems and a green roof.
“This development will deliver 125 affordable homes and a purpose-built community center that responds directly to what Clinton Hill residents asked for — housing for a wide range of households and families, services for older adults and children, and a healthcare presence in the neighborhood," Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement. "This is community-driven development at its best, and it's exactly the kind of investment we need to address our housing crisis.”
The project is expected to create approximately 350 construction jobs and generate significant opportunities for MWBEs. The development team has committed to exceeding 35% MWBE participation in construction and 30% local hiring across all phases.
To prepare the site, the New York State Office of General Services will oversee demolition of the long-vacant structure, which has been unused since 1997. The proposal must still undergo public review and comment before final consideration under an Empire State Development General Project Plan.
