The building replaced a preexisting branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. It was developed by Hudson Companies and designed by Marvel Architects. History The Brooklyn Public Library's Brooklyn Heights Library at 280 Cadman Plaza West was built in 1962. The two-story library was originally designed to serve as a library and a fallout shelter. During the next half-century, the building had accrued many defects in need of overdue maintenance. The New York City Department of Design and Construction and a third party consultant separately assessed the property and agreed that the building had roughly $9 million worth of overdue capital needs. The building needed $3.6 million for a new heating, ventilation, and air cooling system. $4.2 million were needed for upgrades to the boiler, lighting, roof, and site drainage. $1 million would be required for new elevators. Lastly, $500,000 were needed for fire safety and security enhancements, which are held to a higher standard since the building was built.280 Cadman Plaza West https://280cadman.com/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20150620062711/https://280cadman.com/ June 20, 2015 October 19, 2017 Hudson Incorporated These large outstanding costs contributed to a decision to sell the site to a private developer and build a new branch library on the ground floor of a new, privately owned residential development.Frost Mary 2013-01-30 FIRST PUBLIC AIRING: Plans to rebuild Brooklyn Heights library, move Business branch, face a skeptical audience https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2013/01/30/first-public-airing-plans-to-rebuild-brooklyn-heights-library-move-business-branch-face-a-skeptical-audience/ 2024-02-24 Brooklyn Eagle en-US In June 2013, the New York City Economic Development Corporation issued a Request for Proposals to redevelop the location.Frost Mary 2013-06-21 City releases RFP for Brooklyn Heights Library development https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2013/06/21/city-releases-rfp-for-brooklyn-heights-library-development/ 2024-02-24 Brooklyn Eagle en-US The site was sold to Hudson Companies, Inc. in September 2014 for $52 million, with approximately $10 million from the proceeds allocated to the fitting-out of the new library.Staff Brooklyn Eagle 2014-09-16 Brooklyn Public Library approves $52 million sale of Brooklyn Heights branch to developer Hudson Co. https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2014/09/16/brooklyn-public-library-approves-52-million-sale-of-brooklyn-heights-branch-to-developer-hudson-co/ 2024-02-24 Brooklyn Eagle en-US As part of the sale agreement, Hudson committed to build 114 units of affordable housing on two privately owned sites in Community Board 2.
