Looking forward to the area changing by Summer 2017 and even earlier to the extent the area starts preparing for the new residents.

@whynot_31, how does one confirm whether there will be an affordable component?

whynot_31

Buildings often start out "as of right", which does not mandate any affordable housing.

Later on, they decide whether apply for a 421a, which does require same.

So, it may be too early to determine whether this building would like to have affordable units.

Once such a deal is arranged, HPD pretty reliably puts a "Building Affordable Housing for New Yorkers" banner on the blue plywood.

Readers, we are in eastern Crown Heights, between Utica and Rochester.

I actually just spoke to my friend that lives there one building is fully erected and the corner building is up to the thrid floor

Nice!   

I assume they will be rentals....

I need to get east of Nostrand more than I do.

Yes you do whynot_31!

One must remember that the majority of my posts stem from information learned while walking my dog.

After about 20 mins, we turn around and go back home. So, I need to get a dog who can walk further in 20 min.

I see the second building is half up

ehgee

how to get further on a 40-minute dog walk

whynot_31

I need not only that contraption, but also that dog.

...mine will be 15 years old in April.

It is looking a lot like the rendering in the first post.

whynot_31

Almost done.

Any updates on this? Affordable housing? Rentals?

whynot_31

It is strange that I was not able to find any listings yet. They might be having CO problems, or in the process of entering a contract with a property management company, of an entity like the Department of Homeless Services.
