ON PROSPECT AVENUE, FOUR TEN-STORY BUILDINGS WILL BE BUILT INSTEAD OF TWO

 
Update: On September 30th, Goose Property Management finalized its deal to acquire the property for $55 million.
 
Update: "New renderings show a much larger, bulkier development that rises directly against and dwarfs the neighboring townhouses, a departure from the prior design." (Brownstoner, "Massive Change Coming to Arrow Linen Block Under New Developer" https://www.brownstoner.com/development/arrow-linen-467-prospect-avenue-new-developer-plan-goose-reaction) 
 
--------------------------------
 
A property management company specializing in "high end luxury living" has filed permits for the construction of four ten-story buildings on the Arrow Linen site.
 
 
by
 
At the end of July, the new developer for the apartment buildings on Arrow Linen’s site filed permits with the city to build 4 10-story apartment buildings on the Arrow Linen site, for a total of 396 units. The rezoning agreement was for 250 units in 2 10-story buildings.
 
Per this article in hoodline.com, “New Developer Splits Windsor Terrace Project into Four Towers, Dodges Wage Law“:
 
  • The new developer, Developing NYS, has filed plans for 4 10-story, 99-unit buildings on the Arrow Linen site
  • Building 99-unit buildings allows the developer to get around the requirement to pay “prevailing wages” for construction
  • The property manager, Goose Properties (sister company to Developing NYS) hope to keep the project around 100 affordable units. If they do, that puts the project at 25% affordable units, rather than the 40% agreed in the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA).
  • This almost doubles the density of the apartment buildings, and surely reduces the average size of the units.
The Construction Task Force, also stipulated in the CBA, has its first meeting on Tuesday, August 11.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME, 72ND PRECINCT, 2026 (FREE)


National Night Out Against Crime
 Tuesday, August 4th
3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Join the 72nd Precinct for National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, August 4th, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

National Night Out Against Crime is held annually on the first Tuesday in August. The National Association of Town Watch created the event in 1984. 

Prior to that, in the 1970s, as one aspect of the Women's Liberation Movement, women created their own non-governmental, grass-roots event--called "Take Back the Night"--with the goal of protesting and deterring violence against women through their visible presence outdoors.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
