Marcus Garvey Village
Marcus Garvey Village, also known as Marcus Garvey Apartments, is a 625-unit affordable housing development located in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. The complex was designed by British architect Kenneth Frampton in 1970 and completed in 1973. The master plan and buildings were later redesigned by Michael Kirchmann of GDSNY for a substantial renovation in 2016. It consists of multiple four-story structures spread across nine city blocks.[1][2][3] The complex was named after Jamaican politician and activist Marcus Garvey.[1]
