The Brownsville Arts Center & Apartments (BACA) will be developed at 366 Rockaway Ave., providing 283 affordable rental apartments. These will be available for households earning 30% to 70% of the area median income. The project includes a 28,000-square-foot cultural arts center with multipurpose spaces for community arts groups. Total costs for BACA are projected at $254 million, with the city contributing nearly $100 million. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2025 and be completed by December 2027.
"New Yorkers need affordable homes and vibrant community spaces. This dynamic project in the heart of Brownsville will deliver both. It will give more New Yorkers an affordable place to live, a welcoming place to express themselves, and a quality place to spend time together."
"BACA is more than a meaningful investment in quality, affordable housing - it's a powerful example of what a holistic response to community needs can look like. It stands apart as a commitment to creating accessible space for the performing and visual arts, a safe and vibrant place to celebrate community."
