Four Blocks Of Clarkson Avenue – Nine New Buildings
Having been out reporting on the tenants fighting eviction at 250 Clarkson, we decided to take a look at what has been happening along the four blocks of Clarkson Avenue between Flatbush and SUNY Downstate.
In just a few short years, a dozen hundred-year-old homes have been razed and replaced by rental buildings, some completed, some about to be and others just starting up. Total new apartment count – more than 398, as some developers have not filed plans yet. However, it seems only about 50 of them will fall under the affordable housing program.

Will become an eight-story, 93 unit residential building with 47 parking spaces.
The three Victorian houses that used to be there were demolished in 2013.
