HELP USA, Camber Property Group, and the New York City Department of Social Services have opened HELP Women’s Center at 114 Snediker Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. The five-story, 60,000-square-foot facility will begin operations on March 30, serving as a 200-bed intake and assessment center for women entering the shelter system.

Construction appears to be imminent at 356 Fulton Street, an upcoming mixed-use residenital skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn. Developed in a joint venture between Rabsky Group and Spencer Equity, the structure is planned to yield nearly 200 condominium units, 299 rental apartments, and 20,000 square feet of commercial space. The $400 million development will rise from a site bounded by Fulton Street, Smith Street, and Red Hook Lane. It’s unclear if MdeAS Architects and SLCE Architects, the original designers, are still part of the project, which called for a 43-story, 496-foot tall, 475,000-square foot tower with 421 units of market-rate and affordable housing, and 100,000 square feet of commercial space.

The redevelopment will replace the defunct Brooklyn Detention Complex and is bounded by Atlantic Avenue, Boerum Place, and Smith and State Streets.
