Investment Highlights

Attractive Development Opportunity: Extensive lot size and full frontage along Willoughby Avenue from Taeffe Place to Kent Avenue allow a developer to construct an efficiently designed building with an abundance of natural light and air.

Affordable Alternative: Clinton Hill provides an affordable alternative to higher priced submarkets that border the neighborhood including Williamsburg and Fort Greene. As rents in those neighborhoods continue to increase, demand for luxury rental product in Clinton Hill will also increase.

Less Than 30 Minutes to Manhattan: Residents of the Property can commute to Manhattan in less than 30 minutes via the Classon Avenue and Franklin Avenue stations. The area is also served by many buses including the B48, B54 and B38 all within a 5-minute walking distance.

Projected Market Rent Growth: Surging renter demand in Brooklyn, compounded by a shortage in supply, has generated extremely low vacancy rates and minimal concession levels in the market. In 2022, vacancy rates averaged less than 2%, with a projected average market rent growth of 6% in the next two years.
