Shot of Jay Z’s Former Home in the Brooklyn Projects

Possible Drone Used: DJI Phantom 3 Pro

The DJI Phantom 3 Pro, a top-performing drone in its time, still captures stunning shots like this one of the projects in Brooklyn, New York. Providing a bird’s-eye view of the area, this clear photo sheds light on the public housing’s unique architecture and high population density.

With 4,286 residents in the Marcy Houses alone and 25,000 in Brownsville, it’s a glimpse into the reality of urban living. Interestingly, rapper Jay Z grew up in the Marcy Projects and later bought a stake in the same place. Marcy Houses, named after a Brooklyn politician, has also taken steps in recent times toward environmental sustainability.
