The transformative effect of rezoning Brooklyn New York neighborhoods has been nothing short of historic. For example, the rezoning of Downtown Brooklyn has completely changed the landscape of this neighborhood well beyond City Planning projections. This neighborhood has become a residential and commercial hub.
Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood was rezoned in 2016. The 190 block, rezoned area is between Fulton and Belmont Avenues This has resulted in property values rising dramatically. In 2016 developers filed applications to build 339 residential units. By 2017 that number had increased to 1,303 units, mainly in the affordable housing category.
Investors of multi family houses are hoping to capitalize on the influx of buyers and renters who have been priced out of other areas and see East New York as a more affordable housing alternative.
