en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 27th, The MTA recently announced that the development project for the parcel at 1119 Pacific Street in Brooklyn has entered the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage. The agency is soliciting proposals to transform this land, formerly a cable shop for the New York City Department of Transportation, into a residential development project. It is expected to construct approximately 300 residential units, with at least 75 designated as affordable housing. The site underwent rezoning for mixed-use development last year, and the proceeds from the sale will be allocated to the MTA's capital budget.

This residential development project is located on Pacific Street in Brooklyn, adjacent to transportation facilities. According to the bidding requirements, proposals can obtain higher density allowances but must include measures to improve transportation accessibility. The MTA reached an agreement with the city government to relocate the original cable shop to a new facility at 2016 Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn during the rezoning process. Additionally, the parcel includes air rights surrounding the adjacent NYCT Franklin Avenue Shuttle location.

MTA officials stated that the parcel is being transferred to the city government for residential development. This bidding aims to utilize land resources around public transportation hubs to increase housing supply, particularly the proportion of affordable housing, while improving regional transportation connectivity. This residential development project will help optimize land use efficiency and support the sustainable development of the Brooklyn community.
