Brooklyn Bridge Park chooses developer for John Street site
Brooklyn Children's Museum annex to occupy first floor
The Brooklyn Bridge Park Board of Directors has selected a joint venture of Alloy Development and Monadnock Development to design and develop a residential building at John Street in DUMBO.
New parkland, which will include pedestrian bridges over a tidal salt marsh, tree-lined pathways, and a 13,000-square-foot gathering lawn, is also slated to be built at the John Street site. The 1.5-acre site, formerly owned by Con Edison, is at the northernmost section of the park.
The residential building will include 47 apartments and cultural and retail space on the ground floor, which will be occupied by the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. There will also be improved pedestrian access to the park at the Jay Street.
