A recent design competition for affordable housing in the Bronx was so successful (see runner-up design on the jump), New York Magazine reports, that the City’s Department of Housing is now planning one for Brooklyn. Proposals for the mixed use complex near BAM (to include 150 apartments, a dance theater and retail space) are due May 4. While no specific address was mentioned, we have to imagine that the site is one of the two parking lots above. Can anyone confirm the location? Update: According to the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership press release a commenter linked to, it looks like Lot 1 is the planned location.
