Development Will Transform Underutilized State-Owned Site in Clinton Hill into 125 Affordable Homes and 28,000-Square-Foot Intergenerational Community Center and Health Clinic
100 Percent Nonprofit-Owned Project Responds Directly to Community Priorities Identified Through Extensive Public Engagement Process
Builds on Governor Hochul's Commitment to Addressing the Housing Crisis and Leveraging State-Owned Land to Increase Housing Supply
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the selection of a nonprofit development partnership to transform state-owned land at 1024 Fulton Street in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood into a mixed-use, 100 percent affordable housing development. The proposal, selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process, will deliver 125 permanently affordable homes and a 28,000-square-foot intergenerational community center and health clinic on a site that has sat underutilized for decades.
“New York is proving that when we leverage state-owned land and listen to communities, we can build the affordable housing that our neighborhoods and our state needs,” Governor Hochul said. “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. This is community-driven development at its best, and it's exactly the kind of investment we need to address our housing crisis.”
Empire State Development President, CEO, and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Empire State Development is proud to bring this transformative project forward after an extensive community engagement process that shaped every aspect of this proposal. By selecting a 100 percent nonprofit development team with proven track records in Brooklyn, we are ensuring this site will serve the community for generations to come. The 1024 Fulton Street Redevelopment exemplifies how state investments can create affordable housing, deliver critical services, and strengthen neighborhoods.”
