Caton Flats is a mixed-use development that offers 255 new units of much needed affordable housing with over 3K sq ft of office space on the ground and second floor for a local community organization, the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACCI), 9K+ sq ft of retail space at the cellar and ground floor, and the redeveloped and expanded Flatbush Central Caribbean Marketplace. The market, which is a neighborhood institution, provides spaces for vendors who sell a variety of goods that celebrate and support the area’s Caribbean American culture. The interior of the community space was designed by STUDIO 397 Architecture, and incorporates the Mangrove shared commercial kitchen and design studio, which will focus on opportunities for BIPOC entrepreneurs, helping them grow skills and test creative ideas in the food, design, craft, and body care product industries.​​
