Last Three Pfizer Lots Up For Grabs

The Brooklyn Paper reports that Pfizer has put the last of its Brooklyn real estate holdings on the market. The pharmaceutical giant is looking to sell three lots at Harrison Avenue near Gerry Street, in Williamsburg. Pfizer’s properties have long been eyed as potential development sites for affordable housing—at one point there were plans to convert Pfizer’s former plant and adjacent lots into a huge mixed-use project with an emphasis on affordable housing—but the Brooklyn Paper notes that it’s unclear what sort of developers will end up controlling the lots. According to the story, a bunch of developers are interested in the parcels, including a team that would like to build affordable housing. Earlier this year Pfizer sold off its manufacturing plant to a company that turned it into a small-business incubator.
