Fort Hamilton, LLC, desired a zoning map amendment to rezone four lots on two blocks in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. This would permit construction of a six-story, mixed-use building containing 99,034 gsf. It would house a medical clinic, commercial space, and a below-grade accessory garage. The current uses on the four lots included an abandoned service station, an abandoned residential building occupied by squatters, and a monastery. As a subconsultant to the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, SEA carried out air quality and noise studies, as well as a Phase I ESA based on ASTM E 1527-13. The project is currently moving forward.
