Yeah, it says another tower of similar size, but its not certain yet. That one would hold the 40% affordable units. At least one tower will go on the garage site, with 20%.


Still, plans aren't publicly released...

Brooklyn Health Partners (BHP), the group which won the bidding war for Long Island College Hospital (LICH) earlier this month, is refuting stories leaked to publications that plans are already in the works to raise “at least two soaring residential buildings of up to 50-stories” on the Cobble Hill campus and are “spoon feeding” a deal to the de Blasio administration which would trade building density and height for a higher percentage of affordable housing.

Crain’s, which published a story on this Friday, said they obtained the information from emails from a financier involved in the bid, HKS Capital Partners. HKS was not available for comment at press time.

Donnette Dunbar, spokesperson for BHP, told the Brooklyn Eagle on Friday, “Various reports that Brooklyn Health Partners (BHP) has made land use decisions concerning the Long Island College Hospital campus are absolutely false.

“BHP's sole focus is closing with the State University of New York so it can began to provide medical services to the citizens of Brooklyn, as promised,” she said.

“When the time is appropriate, we will sit with the various community stakeholders and discuss how we will build a 21st century collaborative product that all of New York can be proud of.”

BHP has consistently refused to elaborate on the proposal while the group is “knee-deep in negotiations with SUNY.”
