en.Wedoany.com Reported - The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sale and redevelopment of its property located at 1119 Pacific Street in Brooklyn. The project will advance Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) for approximately 300 residential units, with at least 75 designated as affordable housing. Ownership of the site is being transferred to New York City, and proceeds from the sale will be allocated to the MTA's capital budget.

The site, formerly an MTA New York City Transit cable shop, spans approximately 1.2 acres. It was rezoned last year for mixed-use residential development, and the shop has been relocated to a new facility at 2016 Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn. The RFP requires proposals to include plans for improving public transit accessibility. Projects meeting the criteria will be eligible for higher-density building permits to facilitate the residential development.

The area's transit resources include the Franklin Avenue Shuttle station. The adjacent air rights of the MTA's Franklin Avenue station are also included in this development scope. In a press release, the MTA stated that this project aims to leverage land assets to support transit-oriented housing development and increase the housing supply in the Brooklyn area.

The RFP requires developers to submit comprehensive plans that include affordable housing provisions and public transit connectivity strategies. The project will adhere to New York City's housing planning framework, with a focus on increasing the housing supply in Brooklyn. This land sale is part of a series of initiatives by New York City to promote residential development along public transit corridors.
