The affordable housing lottery for the Ebenezer Plaza Phase 2 development in Brownsville has begun, offering 165 rent-stabilized and income-restricted apartments. This is the third and final building in the Ebenezer Plaza complex, developed in partnership with Ebenezer Urban Ministries Center and other affordable housing developers.
The new building, located at 589 Christopher Avenue, offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, with rents ranging from $454 to $2,949 per month. The units are available to families earning between 30% and 80% of the Area Median Income, with income limits set between $18,480 and $154,080, depending on household size.
Designed by Perkins Eastman, the 11-story building includes amenities like a gym, shared laundry room, community room, outdoor space, and bike storage. The complex also features 1,400 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.
This final phase of the Ebenezer Plaza complex is 100 percent affordable. The full development was developed in a partnership between Ebenezer Urban Ministries Center (formerly the Church of God of East Flatbush) and Brisa Builders Corporation and Procida Companies in the housing development fund company, which was put together by Eric Adams in 2016, when he was the Brooklyn Borough President.
This development is part of the city’s Extremely Low and Low-Income Affordability (ELLA) program and the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) program. The lottery closes on October 3, and applications can be submitted through New York City’s Housing Connect website.
