From the article and regarding 'potential in Cypress Hills'
Judging by the map the focus seems to be on northern ENY proper, where there are main avenues (Liberty & Pitkin) lacking storefronts, some green space and the environment is a mixture of residential property both old and new and some industrial structures. An old police station, some churches too.
Also judging by the map, southern Cypress Hills from Fulton to Atlantic is just one block from north to south but from east to west it's a wide area. We are talking 5-6 J/Z stations. This is an area where you see green space, old houses, garages and small factories. The southern portion of CH (Fulton to Atlantic) begins to get better and look better from Crescent to Elderts. Hmm... Maybe there is a reason why I am seeing large corner property being boarded up on Fulton recently. A plan in the making hmm.
yes agreed, the focus as far as Cypress Hills in concerned is from fulton to atlantic...wonder how it will play out. Although I have no idea what this sentence means: "Implementation of the plan’s land use, urban design,
transportation, economic development and sustainability recommendations is expected to not be completed before 2016." (from the dept of city planning page) LOL
The article is kind of vague....what exactly is the new development proposed besides the street aesthetics along Atlantic Avenue?
I believe they are proposing rezoning of industrial areas to allow for "affordable housing" (almost never affordable) Seems they are still surveying the area.
Here is the full doc I meant to post with more info (still a bit vague):

Here is a close up of the map-
It's vague at the moment, but it can lead to a number of ideas and perception.
Atlantic Ave had always look dusty, gritty and shady on it's eastern end until you get into eastern Cypress Hills and City Line area of Atlantic, approaching Queens. The area can really use some touching up, although some fast food and small business are on the Atlantic in east BK. CH being that it has the best varied housing stock in East Brooklyn (along with Ocean Hill) and has some interesting nearby features can make it very attractive. Let's also add some space for major expansion. Not surprised the area is under examination for revitalization.
I said this before, give it 2-3 years to begin seeing the early phases change or gentrification. If it does not happen by then, seeing the pace and speed in which things are changing, then it's probably never and long term stagnation for the entire east. But judging by a few articles already, it seems like it's on the crosshairs.

did you look at the full length pdf? trying to imagine those sketch ups in real life is tough right now but it has happened else where in the city.
This is totally insane to me, this property is asking 850K and is a mere mile away from CH. Almost double the price of most comparable 2 families in Cypress Hills. 650 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn NY - Trulia

Yes, I've seen it. It's hard to imagine, it's a lot of change planned. For decades the area had been ignored, has a terrible reputation and it's gloomy at a lot of areas. Judging by the details they really want to change that. Question remains if it really kicks off.
Yes, keep in mind that area of Bushwick-Bed Stuy is further away from Williamsburg and the Hipsterzone in Bushwick. It's the sketchiest part of Bushwick too. That's around the corner from Cypress Hills, travel by bicycle along Jamaica Ave and make a turn along the cemetery on start of Bushwick Ave and you would be right on the door step of that property.

Exactly. That is QUITE a hefty price. Lets just hope this is not all a bubble.

You will not find poorer people or even 'hoodrats' moving into Bushwick anymore. Someone who is well off can afford that place, the trend will continue. It comes to show us that eventually all of Bushwick and Bed Stuy will be consumed, as predicted.
There are many people (new comers and others) who work from home or are traveling constantly, then there are those who bring their businesses into the neighborhoods where they reside. Besides the older mixed housing stock and the parklands of Cypress Hills. The neighborhood is near the airport. The neighborhood has the J/Z train running directly in the middle, which is also directly connected to the airport. It's 20-25 minutes away (from Crescent station for instance) to the last stops in Williamsburg which is also a hangout destination for many, before the train crosses the LES, Soho, EV, ect, which a segment of new comers operate. The beaches of the Rockaways are nearby. Busy Queens Blvd and Austin st are also nearby. DTBK and the Barclay is right down Atlantic Ave. There's also Forest Park right next door. The new casinos are a step away too. I said much of this previously
No, I am not a realtor! I'm just showing the little perks of CH. It stood too long in the darkness and shadows, drenched in negativity with the rest of Eastern Brooklyn. Some light and a little positivity is not a bad thing.
