East New York: Industrial Center. City block development. Low-rise Manufacturing Buildings.

Dattner Architects’ projects made the list for both locations! Hub is currently downtown Brooklyn’s tallest residential building and is known for having the best borough amenities to date. In East New York, the Atlantic Chestnut development is part of New York’s rezoning plan to promote affordable housing, encourage economic development, create pedestrian-friendly streets, and invest in community resources.
