The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has issued a request for proposals to transform an underutilized MTA-owned lot into a residential development with approximately 300 new housing units in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. The development would be an outgrowth of 2025’s Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use District rezoning.
The offering includes both the lot, at 1119 Pacific St., and the air rights from the New York City Subway’s adjacent Franklin Avenue Shuttle. The site was formerly used as part of New York City Transit’s Atlantic Avenue Cable Shop, currently being relocated to a modernized facility in East New York.
MTA chair and CEO Janno Lieber said, “It’s a fact that transit-oriented development drives job and housing growth across the region. The Pacific Street project checks all the boxes – unbeatable proximity to transit in one of Brooklyn’s hottest neighborhoods – and we’re proud to partner with the Governor to get the best use out of this property.”
