DXA Studio, a Manhattan-based architecture and design firm, has designed a two-block development that would rise in Sunset Park over the Long Island Rail Road’s freight tracks between Eighth and Fort Hamilton avenues.
“While exact specifics on what would rise above are not yet available,” YIMBY said, “the plans appear to comprise well over one million square feet of new space, with residential square footage situated atop a substantial commercial-retail component.”
YIMBY quotes the architects as saying that “The multiple phased design will include two blocks of retail on each side of the development, condominiums, office space, restaurants, a hotel, a gymnasium with pool, public park space and community facilities.”
