This property consists of two parcels, 60 Kent Avenue, which occupies the full block of Kent Ave, East River, North 10th Street and North 11th Street; and 20 North 12th Street, which occupies the western half of the block of Kent Avenue, East River, North 11th Street and North 12th Street.

Status: Funding for demolition, design and development has been budgeted for 2022 and beyond.

History: This property was acquired by New York City in 2017 after a protracted community fight to push the City to live up to its promises under the 2005 rezoning. The southern parcel (60 Kent) is home to a large one-story warehouse that occupies almost the entire block. The northern site (20 North 12th Street) housed a similar structure until 2015, when a catastrophic fire destroyed the entire building and its contents.
