CityPoint made news recently when steel beams finally started to rise above the fence at the southern end of the mixed-use sitel. At yesterday’s quarterly meeting of the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable we picked up some other interesting tidbit of news about the project: The Hudson Companies (yes, of blogging fame) has been tapped to build the affordable housing portion of the project, which will be the next stage of development. Despite being best known in these parts for market-rate projects like J Condo and Third & Bond, Hudson has been building affordable housing for two decades, having completed Dumont Green in East New York last year and recently broke ground on Gateway Elton Street in East New York. The affordable housing at CityPoint will be in a roughly ten-story tower with four or five floors of retail at the base.

  1. The only thing of interest to me in this development is when will the developers stop their seizure of Albee Square and allow the B38 to continue traveling up DeKalb to Fulton without that time wasting zig-zag it’s currently making on St. Felix.

  2. I’d love to see Hudson Companies blog about constructing affordable housing. It would be an interesting counterpoint to the blogging it did about constructing luxury housing at Third + Bond.
