History

Before the housing complex had started construction, it had attracted millionaires in the 19th century and the Sheepshead Bay Racetrack was located there that was built in 1880 primarily for horse racing, then it had changed to for cars, and then shuttered due to bankruptcy. ^[4]

These buildings were completed on the former Sheepshead Bay Racetrack on August 1950. ^[4]
