Note:Р’В BrickUndergroundР’В is in noР’В way affiliated with New York City public housing. Based on recent demand for affordable developments,Р’В KoffmanР’В gives a ballpark estimate of around 25,000, but adds, 'I wouldn't be surprised if that number were higher.' Applications are open to everyone, provided you meet the income requirements, so we're guessing competition will be stiff. Though the project is a holdover from the Bloomberg administration, it dovetails with-and will likely influence the outcome of-Mayor de Blasio's stated plans to turnР’В East New York ( or 'the next Bushwick,' if you'd rather) intoР’В a hub for new development and affordable housing.Р’В Located near the 3, the L, and the A/C lines, the neighborhood lies right in the path of gentrification's eastward, L-train-adjacent push, and has enough space and rezoning potential to be interesting to developers.Р”Р„s usual, preference for halfР’В of the apartments will be given to current residents of Brooklyn Community District 5, which encompasses Highland Park, East New York, New Lots, Spring Creek, and Starrett City.

When the full project is completed, Elton Street will have more than 60,000 square feet of community space, according to a release from HPD, including retail, restaurants, a grocery store, and pre-k daycare, with an emphasis on bringing on local businesses. Phase II is gunning for LEEDР’В Platinum certification, and the 300,000-watt rooftop solar panels will likely help toward that goal. 'It is a classic case study in public-private partnership to build a thriving neighborhood with schools, shopping and housing from a former 236-acre landfill,'Р’В saidР’В KoffmanР’В when the project broke ground last May. 'We're sort of calling it 'a street grows in Brooklyn.'' There's now a school on the corner of Flatlands and Elton (the development's northern boundary), the Gateway Center Mall to the south, and the Nehemia affordable housing development to the east. 'That street didn't even exist seven years ago,' AaronР’В Koffman, director of affordable housing for Gateway's developer, Hudson Inc., tells us. The project was initially launchedР’В under former Mayor Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan to create 165,000 units of affordable housing by the end of 2014, and will essentially create a new community from scratch on an area once used as aР’В landfill. Phase I includes 197 low-income rentals that were rented out last year, Phase II broke ground in May 2013, and construction is expected to start on Phase III in July 2015. Located at 516 and 524Р’В VandaliaР’В Avenue, Gateway II is part of a massive three-part affordable housing project going up along the Elton Street corridorР’В in the Spring Creek section of East New York. ( A full list of apartment options and income requirements can be found here.)Р”Р„ll told, 175 affordable rentals will be available to families who earn no more than 40, 50, or 60Р’В percent of the area median income-that puts caps for a family of four at $33,200, $41,500, and $49,800, respectively.Р’В Along with brand new apartments, residents will get access toР’В extras like parking, a bike room, a fitness center, freeР’В WiFiР’В in the common areas, dishwashers, and a shared laundry room. Applications open December 19 for subsidizedР’В apartments at the much anticipated Gateway Elton II development in East New York, according to theР’В HPDР’В website,Р’В with rentsР’В for studios starting as low as $494 a month and topping out atР’В $1,317 a month for a four-bedroom.

TheР’В Gateway Elton II developmentР’В is saidР’В to have some of the mostР’В ambitiousР’В green architecture New York's ever seen-the rooftop solar panels alone are the biggest on any housing complex in the state-at a fraction of the price of your typical cityР’В rental.
