On October 2, 2023, the City Planning Commission voted to approve an application for a mixed-use development at 534 Coney Island Avenue in the Flatbush and Kensington area of Brooklyn.
The eleven-story building will have 43 units, including eleven permanently affordable units at a rate between 60 to 80 percent area median income. The building will have eight market rate and two permanently affordable one-bedroom apartments, and 24 market rate and nine permanently affordable two-bedroom apartments. The building will also include 3000 square feet of commercial space and 19 off-street parking spaces.
The project had previously gotten an approval from Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and a conditional approval from Brooklyn Community Board 12. The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on August 23, 2023. For CityLand’s previous coverage, click here.
