Herrick, Feinstein LLP

Herrick land use and zoning's Mitch Korbey successfully helped BFC Partners obtain New York City Council approval to redevelop the Bedford Union Armory in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, into a 500,000-square-foot, mixed-use property with a recreational facility, community venue and office and commercial space. BFC is also bringing 400 units of housing to the Bedford Courts project, 60% of which will be set aside as affordable.

BFC was selected by the New York City Economic Development Corporation to develop the site under a long-term ground lease. Mitch guided BFC through the full Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), which included interacting with government officials and local community groups on a range of issues including affordable housing, historic preservation, community resources and urban design.
