NYCEDC Seeks RFPs for Firehouse Transformations

BROOKLYN, NY-A Request for Proposals has been made for the transformation of two vacant firehouses in Brooklyn into nonprofit community or cultural spaces.

By Natalie Dolce | Updated on August 06, 2007

BROOKLYN, NY-The New York City Economic Development Corp., the city’s primary vehicle for promoting economic growth in each of the five boroughs, and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development are jointly seeking proposals for the acquisition and redevelopment of two former firehouses. The first is located at Wythe Avenue and the second is on DeGraw Street in Brooklyn.

NYCEDC is requesting proposals from not-for-profit cultural institutions and not-for-profit community entities along with qualified developers for the sites. Redevelopment of the sites should transform the now vacant structures into active space for a variety of community, educational and cultural uses.

Development should look to balance preservation of the character and appearance of the site with high-quality and sustainable design and construction. The Wythe Avenue site includes a late 19th Century three-story building of about 6,000 sf. The DeGraw Street firehouse is a two-story building of approximately 4,250 sf.
