Downtown Brooklyn New York is a vital and lively hub of Brooklyn New York. It is the third largest central business district in New York City.
A 2004 rezoning of Downtown Brooklyn, NY was originally meant to promote more commercial development such as office and cultural projects. Instead, the rezoning put into motion a huge wave of residential development. The city has anticipated 979 new housing units and 11,000 + housing units were created as of 2016 according to a report from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adam’s office.
Interestingly, commercial property developed as of 2016 stood at 1.3M square feet, far short of the anticipated 4.6M square feet of commercial property development.
Downtown Brooklyn, NY is experiencing tremendous demand because of the many lifestyle options available, the convenience of access to 13 subway lines, proximity to the Brooklyn Cultural District (formerly called BAM) and bordering the very beautiful, charming and historic neighborhoods of Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights.
Jamie Anthony principal of Lonicera Partners which has developed 13 projects in the Downtown Brooklyn area says that “there is much more high density residential development in Downtown Brooklyn build over the last decade”.
