The city’s housing authority announced Wednesday that it had selected a new development team for a stalled effort to replace public housing vacated more than a decade ago.

The plan will replace the 365 public housing units at Prospect Plaza, a three-tower complex in Ocean Hill-Brownsville, with 364 new apartments built on three sites in three phases.

The sites will include 80 units of public housing, for which former Prospect Plaza residents will have preference, and 284 other housing units reserved for households making less than 60 percent of area median income, or $49,800 for a family of four.

The development will also include a supermarket, community facility and recreation space, according to a statement from the New York City Housing Authority.

Prospect Plaza is one of the few projects in the city undertaken via the HOPE VI program, a federal initiative conceived in the 1990s to address failed public housing.

Nationwide, HOPE VI has generated mixed results: It resulted in the destruction of 200,000 units of public housing, but did relocate some residents to better neighborhood and create successful mixed-income communities where distressed housing projects once stood.

When HOPE VI came to Prospect Plaza in 2002, NYCHA moved 300 families out, only to learn that the cost of renovating the existing towers was too high.

Wednesday’s announcement named Blue Sea Development Company, Pennrose Properties, Duvernay + Brooks, and Rosenberg Housing Group to develop the 4.5-acre project, which will be built with funds from NYCHA’s federal HOPE VI grant and affordable housing subsidies under Mayor Bloomberg’s New Housing Marketplace Program, administered by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Two of the development parcels will combine public housing and affordable housing in four-story townhouses and five-story elevator buildings. The third and final phase will include a single building with no public housing, a supermarket and community center.
