Coney Island West Parcel A RFP

New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”) is pleased to release a request for proposals (“RFP”) seeking proposals from qualified parties (“Respondents”) for the disposition and development of an approximately 76,200 square foot site located at intersection of Surf Avenue and West 21st Street in Brooklyn (Block 7071, Lots 100 and 123A) (the “Site”).

Following the Mayor’s announcement in the January 9, 2025 State of the City and as part of the Mayor’s ongoing commitment to prioritize and invest in the development of new housing on underutilized New York City assets, respondents have a unique opportunity to develop a mixed-income residential project in Brooklyn to address the City’s housing shortage.

NYCEDC plans to select a Respondent on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to, program and design, financial and schedule feasibility, respondent qualifications and experience, and economic impact.
