Construction began Tuesday on the Brownsville Arts and Culture Apartments, a mixed-use development with affordable housing and a multipurpose arts space.

The 366 Rockaway Ave. project will include 283 new units with rents set as “affordable” for New Yorkers earning between 30-70% of the Area Median Income , or between $43,740-$102,060 per year for a family of three. Units will range from studios to three-bedrooms, with a number of units earmarked for formerly-homeless New Yorkers.

Per city guidelines, rents will begin at $800 per month for a studio and $1,263 for a three-bedroom at 30% AMI.

BACA’s cultural arts center will span more than 28,0000 square feet, and will include a large multi-purpose room for community arts groups to use for rehearsal and performances. Close
