Plans Filed For Third Building In 'The Fountains' Housing Complex in East New York

EAST NEW YORK, BROOKLYN — Arker Companies filed plans to develop a new 200-unit mixed-use building at the Fountains, the vast affordable housing complex to be built near the Gateway Center, according to reports.

The seven-story building slated for 10 Schroeder’s Walk is part of the eight-building, 1,169-unit affordable development Governor Cuomo announced in May.

Arker Companies paid New York State $10 million for a plot of land that once housed the Brooklyn Developmental Center, which closed in 2015, according to the Governor’s office.

The plans are for a 170,296-square-foot space with 11,162 square feet dedicated to retail space on the ground floor and 200 affordable apartments — averaging at 773 square feet — on the second through seventh floors, YIMBY reported.

Aufgang Architects is the architect on record for the 75-foot-tall building, according to YIMBY.

Plans for two buildings at 881 Erskine Street and 702 Vandalia Avenue have already been filed.
