The Department of Housing Preservation and Development is proposing to rezone 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Brooklyn to make way for a 1.5-million-square-foot residential tower. The project would have 1,263 apartments, of which 253 to 379 would be affordable to those, on average, earning at or below 80 percent of the area median income, according to details released Monday.
The new building planned for Flatbush Avenue will have an FAR of 21.8.
State officials have indicated that a residential project planned on the Far West Side will also exceed FAR 12. The same goes for the project planned for HPD’s headquarters at 100 Gold Street, where the city plans to build more than 1,000 units of housing.
The Flatbush Avenue project is on track, however, to be the first site to use a higher FAR under the new rules. A public scoping hearing is slated for June 5.
