Hero Village

Transforming an abandoned airfield into a vibrant community for the brave men and women who serve our city.

Our Misson

A Vision Rooted in Purpose

Hero Village is more than just a housing development — it’s a tribute. A chance to give back to the NYPD officers, FDNY firefighters, EMTs, and essential workers who make New York strong every day. We’re repurposing federally-owned land to build 20,000 family-sized, affordable homes and a future full of dignity, safety, and connection.

Village Overview

Amenities

Hero Village will feature a new parks, schools, supermarkets, medical offices, childcare facilities, workspaces, and retail locations.

All the historic hangars of Floyd Bennett Field will be restored and transformed into event spaces and museums.

Remembrance

The Village’s streets will be named after fallen heroes, and a large memorial will be constructed on the northern side of the Village as a permanent tribute.

Connectivity

Multiple transit options would link the Village with the entire city

This isn't just housing — it's homes for heroes.

Transit & Connectivity

Hero Village would be well connected to New York’s existing transit network.
The Village will include a ferry terminal, adding a new stop along the Rockaway ferry route.
The Cyberlink Rail System—a state-of-the-art rail network—would connect Hero Village to the 2 and 5 subway lines at Flatbush Av–Brooklyn College Station. Alternatively, the 2 and 5 lines could be extended to provide a direct connection to the Village.

Building Beautifully Once Again

Hero Village features family-friendly brownstones with backyards and multiple
bedrooms. A walkable Main Street anchors the Village, with cast iron buildings for shops, restaurants, and local businesses. The design follows the President’s call to build beautifully, drawing from America’s golden age with timeless, traditional architecture. No towering megastructures—just thoughtful, community-focused development.

Behind the Project

Noah Martz, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School and an aspiring real estate attorney, dreams of building beautiful communities for the American people.

Luis R FDNY Firefighter, Father of Two

After 15 years with the FDNY, I’ve watched my community grow, but housing prices push us further away. Hero Village gives us a chance to live where we serve — with dignity and security for our families.

Officer Michelle T NYPD Patrol Unit

We risk our lives for this city every day. Just knowing there’s a place being built with us in mind — that’s powerful. Hero Village isn’t just housing; it’s a thank you we can feel.
