City Planning Commission Approves Big Brooklyn Project at 80 Flatbush

A large and divisive mixed-use development planned for 80 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn has gotten a sign-off from the City Planning Commission and will go on to the City Council for a vote later this summer.
The vote was unanimous, with one commissioner abstaining and a second recusing herself.
The five-building, 1.3-million-square-foot complex will bring 922 apartments (25 percent of which will rent for below-market rates), two schools and a cultural center to a wedge-shaped lot across from Atlantic Terminal, on the border between Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. Dumbo-based Alloy Development is partnering with the New York City Educational Construction Fund to build the complex, which will include two 350-seat public schools, 245,000 square feet of office space and 40,000 square feet of retail. The developers are pushing an upzoning through the uniform land use review process (ULURP) in order to build the project, which will be defined by two towers reaching 74 and 38 stories.

The project heads to the City Council zoning subcommittee for a vote next week, followed by the council land use committee. The full council has to vote on the proposal by the end of September. Councilman Steve Levin oversees the district in which the property sits and has the final say over whether Alloy and ECF get their rezoning.
