The Project
Rising at One University Plaza, a 34-story Long Island University expansion in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by RXR Realty, the 435-foot-tall, 370,960-square-foot building is part of a new complex that includes an athletic field, fitness and wellness facilities, and additional academic space.
The entire complex will yield 600,200 square feet of newly built space, with the main tower holding 476 units averaging 779 square feet apiece, as well as 183,530 square feet for community facilities. The homes will most likely be marketed as rental apartments and include affordable housing accounting for 30 percent of the total inventory. The overall development also includes the refurbishment of the campus’s north and eastern boundaries along Willoughby Street and Ashland Place, upgraded landscaping and passageways, and new pedestrian walkways throughout the campus.
