Affordable New York

164 4^th Avenue has been vested under the Affordable New York program, allowing for the project to benefit from significant tax savings. The Affordable New York Program provides 35 years with a 100% tax abatement in the first 25 years, and a 25% abatement in the final 10 years. With the tax abatement program set to expire in June 2022, all other future development projects will not benefit from the 35-year tax program.

Opportunity Zone (OZ)

The Project is located within an Opportunity Zone, providing significant post-tax savings over a 10-year hold for a qualified opportunity zone investor. The Gowanus neighborhood is a unique and highly desirable OZ as The Property is located adjacent to some of the wealthiest submarkets in Brooklyn. Therefore, the site provides superior fundamentals with exceptional demographics compared to other Opportunity Zones throughout the country.

Thriving Retail
