A 9-to-5 nabe no more — Downtown Brooklyn is cementing itself as a residential powerhouse.
The neighborhood broke its own housing record in the last calendar year, with a total of 4,421 new residential units completed in 2025.
The data comes from the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership’s real estate team, which uses a combination of city and brokerage data. The banner year’s results towered 51% above the previous record, set with 2,925 new units in 2022.

Downtown Brooklyn’s ability to support large-scale projects was helped along in recent years by a 2004 rezoning effort and attractive tax incentives for developers.
The neighborhood’s very own supertall, the Brooklyn Tower, found conditions favorable enough to list its $16.75 million penthouse in December.
Recently completed residential projects include the 1,098-unit Rocklyn at 20 Rockwell Place and the 569-unit Everly at 180 Ashland Place.

Downtown Brooklyn’s zoning requires a portion of affordable housing in every new development, allowing the area to add more than 6,000 new affordable homes over the past decade — 1,308 of those came in the first half of 2025.
The year ahead looks just as busy, with 11 projects under construction and 26 still in the pipeline, according to the Partnership.
