Project partners Atlantic Pacific Companies (A|P), Mount Sinai Community Development Corporation, and Wells Fargo will also join for this momentous occasion.

Brownsville Transit Village is a five-phase, 5.2-acre, joint-development project that includes 120 units for families, comprised of 28 studios and 92 one-bedroom units, as well as a community room, fitness center, and onsite laundry facilities. It will also include ground floor retail space. All the Brownsville V units are set aside for extremely low income and low-income families at 30% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and average at 60% AMI. The project is expected to be completed in August 2025.

Brownsville Phase I through IV, completed in 2014, include 401 affordable housing units in four 14-story rental buildings, a 660-space parking garage for tenant use with an additional 100 spaces dedicated for Metrorail riders, and 6,400 sq. ft. of retail space.
