A huge mixed-use development in the Broadway Triangle section of Williamsburg opened a housing lottery for 120 affordable apartments. Developed by Rabsky Group, the project includes eight buildings across two blocks at a site formerly occupied by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. The development has been constructed in phases, with the latest bringing a 10-story affordable rental building to 11 Gerry Street. New Yorkers earning 40, 60, and 100 percent of the area median income can apply for the units, priced from $812/month one-bedrooms to $3,298/month four-bedrooms.
Rabsky acquired the nine-site assemblage, bounded by Walton Street, Harrison Avenue, Gerry Street, and Union Avenue, from Pfizer in 2012 for $12.8 million, as Crain’s reported. In total, the development, which required a rezoning that was approved in 2017, includes 1,146 apartments, with 25 percent affordable units.
Designed by Fischer + Makooi Architects, the development spans 4.2 acres and includes several buildings with a mix of housing types, retail, and community space, Commercial Observer reported.
Amenities at 11 Gerry include bike storage lockers and a shared laundry room. The apartments are equipped with intercom systems, energy-efficient appliances, patios or balconies, dishwashers, and name-brand kitchen countertops and finishes.
The building sits directly across from the G train at Flushing Avenue, with the J and M accessible on Broadway.
Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the apartments until March 4, 2026. Complete details on how to apply are available here. Preference for 25 percent of the units is given to residents of Brooklyn Community District 1.
