More details on Fortis’ development of former LICH site, now called River Park
7 properties in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn
Fortis Property Group on Monday revealed some more details about further development at the sprawling site of the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in Cobble Hill.
The site is being developed after years of lawsuits and opposition. Local residents and officials nixed the developer’s push to trade a public school and affordable housing for denser development, so the properties are all being developed as luxury.
Fortis has dubbed the development River Park. It will be comprised of seven properties (six buildings and a cluster of eight townhouses) spanning nearly one million-square-feet, including the landmarked Polhemus Building, townhouses and towers.
