Private development slated for Boerum Hill housing project
Wyckoff Gardens residents cautiously optimistic
Private development is coming to a NYCHA project in Boerum Hill.
The city has issued an RFP for two mixed-income buildings to be built on undeveloped corners of the Wyckoff Gardens housing project.
Wyckoff Gardens residents expressed cautious optimism on Wednesday about the New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) plan, which trades underutilized land for much-needed repairs and upgrades to their public buildings. The sites currently hold parking lots.
Wyckoff Gardens, which currently consists of three 21-story residential towers bounded by Wyckoff, Nevins and Baltic streets and Third Avenue, is one of the first two development sites identified in the city’s NextGeneration (NextGen) Neighborhoods program. (The other is Holmes Towers in Manhattan.)
