The 1034-1042 Atlantic Avenue project represents a remarkable transformation from manufacturing use to a residential development, situated in Brooklyn's community board 8. Approved in 2021, the rezoning of the construction site has paved the way for a modern residential complex that aligns with the city's vision of inclusive and sustainable urban living. The building features frontages on both Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street, offering accessibility and a unique architectural presence.
The construction site's rezoning from Manufacturing Use to residential use was approved by City Planning in 2021. The new amended zoning district designated the portion of the site on Atlantic Avenue as R9A and the portion fronting Pacific Street as R7A. This strategic zoning decision reflects careful urban planning and support for residential development in the area.
The building's design boasts a 19-story structure fronting Atlantic Avenue and an 8-story structure fronting Pacific Street. This differentiation in height provides a harmonious blend of architectural elements and ensures the building's integration into the surrounding neighborhood. The total gross area of the building is an impressive 245,000 square feet, inclusive of the cellar and sub-cellar.
The building accommodates 259 dwelling units, offering ample living space for a diverse community. The inclusion of 25% affordable dwelling units distributed vertically across all floors is mandated by the zoning resolution's MIH (Mandatory Inclusionary Housing) designation. This commitment to affordability promotes a diverse and inclusive community, ensuring that residents from various socio-economic backgrounds can enjoy the benefits of urban living. The building's facade is characterized by elaborated brick masonry combined with large glass enclosures. This unique combination of materials lends a modern approach and striking character to the structure, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and setting it apart in the urban landscape. The careful selection of materials reflects a commitment to architectural excellence and modern design.
