I figured we would hear something about these lots soon, big developments in every direction right nearby so they weren't gonna last long.
Nice to see it will be joining the ranks of the taller buildings in Brooklyn. |
This is perfect, as Brooklyn's tallest towers begin to form a cluster between Fulton and Willoughby Streets, joining the current tallest...

Yes!!!!
Truly the Brooklyn skyline of the 2020's will be magnificent if it keeps this pace. From Pacific Park (Atlantic Yards), Williamsburg, and Downtown! The question will be which developer will producer a signature tower BK will be known for?! Exciting times for the borough and city! |

Building permit lists the height at 679 ft, which sounds more accurate for a 65-story tower. It will probably reach 700 ft. There will be 620 units, or apartments. http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/Jo...ssdocnumber=01 Quote:
So, it's about a hundred ft behind Stern's tower. Wonder how high Barnett will stretch his tower. http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/JB...allbin=3000316 There will be 10 units on each floor from 4 - 65, so it should be a pretty solid tower. Beyond that, there's a "lower roof" and an "upper roof", whatever that means. Also, I'm assuming that Willoughby Square park is still in the works, haven't heard much about it, but the towers will border it. http://cdn.brownstoner.com/brownston...k-map-0410.jpg http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2010...lp-design-wil/ http://ny.curbed.com/uploads/WilloughbySquare-2.jpg http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2014/0...rking.php#more http://ny.curbed.com/uploads/WilloughbySquare-3.jpg |

This one easily gets forgotten about, but it will be a similar development to CityPoint accross the street.

^ Height cut? :shrug:

This is weird, its in a good location as well. I wonder if just selling this plot of land to some other developer is more profitable than building a stump?
|
Definitely a reduction from the original 750k sq ft. Seems like a missed opportunity. It could be a temp filing, but if its true, then this is a wasted opportunity.
I do have a suspicion this isn't the final dimensions for this tower. The demand is there, and hopefully they don't undercut themselves. |

I was wondering about that because even the original building permit has the new information. Maybe they were contemplationg purchasing additional air rights which went to someone else (Extell, JDS) or maybe they sold some rights themselves, which wouldn't make sense. Or maybe they are going for a multi (2 or more) tower development like CityPoint accross the street. The first few floors will still be retail, but I haven't scrutinized the dimensions of the lot to see if it's still the same. Or maybe things aren't complete, and they're just moving along to get the permit so work can begin. We know the JDS tower doesn't reflect what we think it will ultimately, as is the case with other initial filings. |
Massive height cut ... :(

Good news as on site renderings where posted, and some more equipment is on the site. For now, nothing major has occurred, but they seem on track to start it sometime this summer.
