The city's Landmarks Preservation Commission today will vote to designate as historic more than 20 blocks of prime real estate in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, sources told The Post.
The move would protect the mostly brick facades of 91 19th- and early 20th-century manufacturing buildings - some of which have already been converted to swanky condos that have attracted big bucks and even some celebrities.
The landmark designation, which would have to be ratified by the City Council in the weeks ahead, would preserve the architectural integrity of the buildings that mostly run from John Street to the north, York Street to the south, Bridge Street to the east and Main Street to the west.
Members of the DUMBO Neighborhood Association had been pushing for the designation for more than seven years, mostly to stop developers from demolishing those buildings to build high-rises, as has happened in several Brooklyn locations.
"This is our best opportunity to preserve an industrial-style neighborhood as we transform it into housing," Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn) said.
