Overview
The purpose of this site is to provide and exchange information for neighbors in the South Slope, Windsor Terrace and adjoining neighborhoods regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Arrow Linen Supply property on Prospect Ave between 8th Ave and Prospect Park West.
- Arrow Linen has filed plans to rezone their property to allow them to build a residential complex of two 13-story towers, two 7-story towers, and five 4-story buildings. That’s over 299,000 square feet, 244 units housing 1100 people - with no additional parking.
For details, see the excerpt summarizing the filing or the full environmental assessment statement; for a quick overview, see this summary.
- The Arrow Action neighborhood coalition is leading the local effort to oppose the rezoning, please join us!
- We are advocating for affordable housing that fits the context of our neighborhood, not luxury high-rises.
