Project Information

120 Fifth Avenue is a mixed-use development site in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Once completed, the 180-unit development will include:

  • 45 affordable apartments
  • A 25,000 square-foot community-oriented supermarket, which will be operated by international grocer Lidl and will fully adhere to the provisions of a Community Cooperation Agreement promulgated by community leaders and civic organizations
  • Approx. 42,000 square feet of additional retail/commercial space, including a CVS pharmacy and neighborhood retail
  • A 130-space below-grade parking garage
  • A publicly accessible pedestrian plaza connecting Butler Street with Fifth Avenue

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2024.

Construction Hours

  • Monday-Friday, 7:00am-6:00pm
  • Weekend work will be scheduled as needed, typically on Saturdays from 9:00am until 5:00pm.
  • After-hours or Sunday work may be scheduled for public safety reasons or for the continuity of essential construction tasks.

Construction Time Frame

The project’s construction team is committed to conducting work on the site in a manner that is responsible and respectful of the community while working to complete this project as expeditiously as possible and deliver the new supermarket and affordable housing units by 2024. We greatly appreciate the patience of our neighbors during the upcoming construction activities.

Construction Impacts

In January, February and March you can expect the following:

  • Truck deliveries within construction hours. Our team has instructed truck drivers to park only where permitted; not to park in bus stops or crosswalks; not to block deliveries to local businesses; and to follow all applicable NYC regulations regarding idling. We understand that traffic around the site is a concern for residents and businesses, and our team will endeavor to minimize the impact of truck traffic around the site.
  • Temporary construction barriers to guide traffic, establish pedestrian paths and promote safety.
  • Street parking is available on the west side of Gregory Place. The east side of Gregory Place (adjacent to the development site) is a “No Parking” zone.
  • Construction vehicles will access the site via vehicular gates on Fifth Avenue and Gregory Place. Flagmen will be present to help ensure pedestrian safety as vehicles enter and exit the site.
  • Seismic monitors on and around the site will report and track vibrations from construction activity in real time and ensure that all activity is within legally allowed limits.
