A ribbon cutting ceremony was recently held to mark the opening of 2886 Atlantic Avenue, a ten-story affordable housing development in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Designed by JFA Architects & Engineers and developed by Camber Property Group, the nearly 128,000-square-foot structure yields 182 deeply affordable units. The project also includes 5,200 square feet of commercial space and a 56-vehicle parking facility. The New York City Department of Social Services (DSS) and the Institute for Community Living (ICL) will operate and manage the property, which is bounded by Atlantic Avenue to the north, Jerome Street to the east, and Barbey Street to the west.
