Vacant Lot for Development
The site at 610 Marcy Avenue offers significant development flexibility under R7A zoning with a C2-4 commercial overlay. Developers can pursue as-of-right residential, mixed-use residential + commercial, or community facility projects. Adding a couple of inclusionary housing units to the project as a bonus may increase buildable square footage to maximize yield.
From a positioning perspective, the lot is adjacent to a NYC Public Garden --while it cannot be built on, it DOES enhance light, air, and aesthetic appeal of any residential project. The site also has excellent transit access (G, J/M/Z, C trains) and high walkable score due to surrounding retail corridors along Myrtle Ave, Bedford Ave, Nostrand Ave, Dekalb Ave and Broadway. Also nearby to Bed-Stuy YMCA, Pratt Institute, and several parks including Herbert Von King Park.
