Kings County (Brooklyn) has 125 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones spread across neighborhoods including East New York, Brownsville, Flatbush, Crown Heights, Sunset Park, and Red Hook. Brooklyn's OZ footprint covers communities that have historically been underinvested despite the borough's broader transformation into one of the most desirable and expensive real estate markets in the world.
East New York and Brownsville represent Brooklyn's highest-need OZ neighborhoods, with significant affordable and workforce housing investment driven by city-sponsored rezoning and Qualified Opportunity Fund capital. Sunset Park's zones, adjacent to the Industry City campus and the Brooklyn Army Terminal, attract industrial and mixed-use creative economy investment. Red Hook and Gowanus zones offer waterfront industrial-to-mixed-use conversion opportunities as Brooklyn's creative and tech economy continues to expand southward.
What is an Opportunity Zone census tract?
Each Opportunity Zone is defined at the census tract level by the U.S. Census Bureau. Investors must deploy eligible capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) that invests in property or businesses within these designated tract boundaries. The tract GEOID numbers listed above identify each designated zone in Kings County.
How do I invest in Kings County Opportunity Zones?
Investments must be made through a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). Capital gains must be reinvested within 180 days of the gain recognition event. Consult a qualified tax advisor to determine your eligibility and structure your investment. You can also visit our Find OZ Help page to connect with an OZ specialist.
