A substantial addition to the East New York neighborhood, Atlantic Chestnut spans an entire block, comprised of 4.5 acres with three interconnected, mixed-use buildings. A result of the East New York Neighborhood Plan and rezoning effort, the development will offer 1,200 units of affordable housing, encourage economic development, create pedestrian-friendly streets, and invest in community resources. Envisioned as the replacement of an abandoned manufacturing facility, the affordable housing development will also provide a grocery store, retail spaces, and community facility space to this underserved Brooklyn neighborhood.

Rooftop Green Ribbon

A landscaped “green ribbon” terrace links the three buildings at the ninth floor roof, featuring a walking path that runs from end to end, with a full 2-way loop representing a ¼-mile walk. The landscape design includes natural habitats – such as coastal dunes, a butterfly garden, hedge rows and dry meadows – to promote awareness of the natural environment. The shared terrace will also include gardening plots for building residents, promoting outdoor recreation and social connectivity. Upper roof levels support additional sustainability and resiliency features, such as solar photovoltaic arrays and a combined heat and power cogeneration system.

Landscaped courtyards and a new pedestrian plaza connect residents to outdoor activities and provide attractive routes to building entrances. Building 1 and 2 courtyards, comprising one acre, will include a variety of walking paths, landscaped areas, and youth and adult fitness and play areas. The plaza between Buildings 2 and 3 will introduce a new pedestrian passage through the city block, featuring a mix of hardscape materials with street trees and planting beds.

All three buildings include ground floor “maisonette” apartments with stoops and planters, bringing neighborhood activity and human-scale design to the street level.

Phasing

Each building in the multi-phase development consists of a 14-story tower and an 8-story volume. The 8-story segments are connected by a continuous metal panel façade that weaves throughout the site, linking the three buildings visually and bridging over grand pedestrian openings along Euclid Avenue. When complete, Phase 2 will add 457,351 sf and 436 units to the development, and Phase 3 will be 394,954 sf with 326 units.
