Construction is set to begin next month on the Atlantic Chestnut project in East New York, with plans to eventually bring 1,165 affordable apartments to the neighborhood.
The project, occupying the block bound by Atlantic and Euclid Aves and Fulton and Chestnut streets, is being spearheaded by nonprofit housing developer Phipps Houses. $217 million in funding is being provided by the city and by Wells Fargo. Phipps plans to build two more buildings on the site after the first one, but has yet to secure financing. The developer purchased the property in 2015 for $36 million.
It is the largest project in the neighborhood to date since the 2016 East New York rezoning, Phipps says.
Even if someone were lucky enough to win this lottery, they'd need much more luck to avoid a stray bullet!
This comment is ridiculous because it’s actually on a great section of east New York. It’s literally nowhere near the projects or any other high crime section the biggest issue with this area is traffic noise since it’s right off the Atlantic Ave/ conduit intersection where the factories used to be.

It's basically the Cypress Hills part, which agreed is better than East NY East New York, no projects around
I think you're thinking about Chestnut Commons. This is a different development.
It’s where the factories used to be based on article so it’s this area but I see they were delayed due to legal reasons. But the building looks like it was very close to being done. It was supposed to be finished last year.

Cypress Hills is a subsection of East NY, isn't it? I mean, it borders Brownsville. That's a big no no, especially if the building has community board preference. You'll be living with the shooters, drug addicts, formerly homeless and the mentally ill. The loud music and the stench of weed will permeate the building. Basically, these will eventually become glorified housing projects.
Here's what the article states:
"403 apartments slated for families making between 40 and 80 percent of area median income, and 15 percent of units set aside for formerly homeless individuals. The building will include 14 floors at its highest points. The project’s apartments are 100 percent affordable, with no market-rate units.
“We look forward not only to providing nearly 1,200 units of critically needed, deeply affordable housing on this long-vacant site, but also to providing on-site support for residents and the community through service programs in partnership with community-based service providers.” "
Why would anyone need onsite social service programs unless battling with some emotional problem or addiction?

Euclid is nowhere near brownville it’s actually closer to queens so stop judging neighborhoods you just aren’t aware of. I battle an emotional issue but I am a productive adult who works daily and has never been on any drugs. So here you go judging a group of people you don’t know. Comments like this are disgusting and just uncalled for.
