Plate 48 of 102BrooklynBrooklyn Community Board 3

457 Nostrand Avenue

The whole tax lot can hold about 350–442 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The project uses only part of it. The top of that range is set by the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52); qualifying senior housing is exempt from it and could hold up to about 497. The City's LIFT tracker lists 240 homes.

The 240 is the City's planning figure for an infill building on the parking lot.

What City documents say

Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.

  • The project uses part of the land shown

    Housing is planned on the surface parking lot on the eastern part of this lot; the City Planning Commission's 2025 report sizes that parking lot at 30,000 sq ft in one place and about 40,000 sq ft in another. The figures here are for the whole lot.

  • Landmark Girls' High School stays, used as adult school

    The western part of the lot holds Girls' High School (1886), an individual landmark in the Bedford Historic District, used by the Brooklyn Adult Learning Center. Housing is planned only on the eastern parking lot.

  • Disposition of part of the lot approved in 2025

    The City approved the disposition of part of the lot (C 250022 PPK) as part of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan, with the City Council vote on May 28, 2025. The City planned an RFP to pick a developer.

  • Landmarks Commission review required

    Any new building needs Landmarks Preservation Commission review because the lot holds an individual landmark and is in a historic district.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

What binds first

Landmark review

MapPLUTO records an individual landmark on the site. Work on a landmark needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and unused floor area may be transferable under the Zoning Resolution.

What the neighborhood asked for

Brooklyn Community Board 3's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Caution

    (E) designation E-810

    An environmental requirement (hazardous materials) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Caution

    Contains a designated landmark

    MapPLUTO records an individual landmark on the site. Work on a landmark needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and unused floor area may be transferable under the Zoning Resolution.

  • Caution

    In the Bedford Historic District

    New construction in a historic district needs a Landmarks Preservation Commission permit.

  • Caution

    The lot has a building on it

    The lot has a building on record with 167,400 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1886 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). Zoning counts floor area already on a lot toward its maximum, so the figures above are the most the land could hold in total, not what could be added while that building stands.

  • Note

    Edge strip of stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    Only a strip along the edge of the site, nowhere 5 feet wide and 100 sq ft in all, shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.

  • Note

    In a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    MIH option 1 applies, so new housing here must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131).

  • Note

    Recently rezoned

    Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan (AAMUP), C 250014 ZMK / N 250015 ZRK / C 250022 PPK. The City Council adopted it on May 28, 2025. The figures above use the zoning now in effect.

Nearest subway station: Nostrand Av (A C), 530 ft in a straight line.

What this doesn't account for

Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.

  • Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
  • Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
  • Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
  • (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
  • Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
  • Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
  • Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
  • Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
  • Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
  • Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
  • Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
  • Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
  • Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
  • State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
  • Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.

On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for its lot; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the lot area (60,000 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 206,400; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 300,600; community facility 390,000 sq ft), the homes (low 351, base 434, high 442), and the flags and what limits the site first.
