What is the Broadway Triangle?

The Broadway Triangle, as it is commonly known, is an approximately 21-block parcel of land which represents the largest public and privately owned development opportunity in Brooklyn. This area includes the 18 blocks defined in the 1989 Urban Renewal Plan, as well as an additional three blocks to the north that are currently also the subject of a redevelopment plan. The area is generally bounded by Broadway and Throop Avenues to the east; Park Avenue to the south; Marcy, Harrison, and Union Avenues to the west; and Lynch Street to the north. The Triangle (see map) is at the nexus of three separate communities: Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Bushwick - Community Boards 1, 3, and 4. Historically, these three communities have worked together in planning and redeveloping the Broadway Triangle district on their respective borders.

In the southwestern corner of the Broadway Triangle is Pfizer, Inc’s pharmaceutical plant and parking lot, where the company was founded in 1849. In 2008 Pfizer announced this plant’s closing. The Broadway Triangle District has the potential to facilitate the development of thousands of units of affordable housing as well as create opportunities for employment and retail development.

Pfizer is currently searching for a partner to purchase their 15-acre holding and lead the overall development of their properties. They have maintained an open dialogue with city officials, elected representatives and community leaders. In addition several small family-owned businesses also call the district home.

The current Urban Renewal Plan adopted in 1989 saw the development of almost 450 units of affordable housing by Williamsburg and Bedford Stuyvesant non-profit development organizations. Future development of the Broadway Triangle requires rezoning of much of the land from manufacturing to residential, commercial, or mixed-use zoning. The rezoning offers the opportunity to shape development particularly with the ability to support community affordability goals.
