City Point Heads to Design Commission Next Week

The first phase of the City Point development project at the north end of the old Albee Square Mall site in Downtown Brooklyn goes before the Public Design Commission next week, according to an article from The Brooklyn Eagle; the news was delivered at last week's Community Board 2 meeting. The first phase of the project, which recently received $20 million from the federal stimulus program for stalled developments, is scheduled to get underway in March 2010. This portion is expected to consist of three or four stories of retail topped by 12 or 13 stories of residential, but a rendering won't be released until after the Public Design Commission sees it; about half of the residential units are expected to be market rate, with the balance spread between middle- and low-income units.
