A redevelopment project on the current grounds of a large emergency migrant shelter in Clinton Hill has now entered the city’s land use review process, according to a report from Brownstoner.
A 2.6-acre block in Clinton Hill that sits across from the Brooklyn Navy Yard will undergo a major transformation in the coming years to become a mixed residential, commercial and retail community if a rezoning plan goes ahead, the website reported.
New York-based developer RXR Realty‘s project was certified by City Planning as part of the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) on Tuesday. The plan to redevelop part of the site at 47 Hall Street calls for demolishing two of 10 existing buildings, replacing them with a new 21-story building, and refurbishing seven others for residential, retail, small commercial and self-storage use.
The city on Jan.10 announced the closure of 13 additional migrant shelters across the city, including the large complex in Clinton Hill.
The project would create 611 residential units across two buildings, Brownstoner said. The new tower would have 464 new units, including 116 to 139 permanently affordable units. The nine-story building at 14-42 Ryerson Street, which runs down Ryerson Street, would have 147 apartments, including 37 to 44 permanently affordable units, according to documents included in the rezoning.
The development team said they are yet to decide whether they would use Mandatory Inclusionary Housing option one or two, and said the apartments will be rentals and include studio apartments as well as bigger units, according to Brownstoner.
