Brooklyn Paper created this awesome interactive map of construction in Downtown Brooklyn, which has 62 buildings under way, according to a report from the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. The neighborhood will have 18,701 new apartments when all the planned construction finishes, and 43.5 percent of apartments in the pipeline will be affordable. But only 9.9 percent of completed apartments are subsidized now.
Public schools in the area are already crowded, and there aren’t any new public schools planned to support the residential boom, according to the paper. Also under construction are six hotels with a planned 1,730 rooms. If Brooklyn hosts the 2016 DNC Convention, only half those rooms will be ready in time.
Map: Downtown Construction, All of It [BK Paper]
Map is not correct as it relates to the building on Tillarry and Gold streets. That new building is across the street (at gold and prince). Missing is a large building at 180 Nassau (completed) and one under construction – 200 Nassau (nassau, duffield and gold streets).
“The devil is always in the details, folks”
Yeah Dave, the details looks like 20k Units coming online this year…

The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Not sure which schools are zoned for all of this development, but I’m not sure that public schools will be much of a concern for these new residents. From what I can tell, a lot of these developments seem to be going to singles and/or share situations.
But the total number is awfully close to 20,000. Where have I heard that number before?
