Brownsville, Brooklyn is set to debut a new affordable multifamily community on Wednesday after completing a $118 million project.

In May 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul first announced the plans for Bridge Rockaway in Brownsville, an initiative to build 174 affordable apartments, with 87 getting reserved for veterans and seniors experiencing homelessness. It was a part of the Democrat's five-year $25 billion plan.

Bridge Rockaway is a part of the Brownsville Industrial Center development, which features 39,000 square feet of light industrial space on the ground floor, and 2,000 SF of community space. The location at Rockaway Avenue and Newport Street reimagines the U-Bet Chocolate Syrup factory.
