Wow, another huge project for downtown BK. Looks good, and nice to see schools and cultural facilities as part of the project.
As a nearby resident with a baby, there is serious school overcrowding in this part of BK. |

http://m5.i.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/...TbG.school.JPG Because I like aerials, a larger expanded view. At the very bottom is the site of 590 Atlantic Avenue, another major development for BK. If they could add that to the rendering, as well as the towers that will rise just accross the Manhattan Bridge, you get another idea of just how much the skyline is expanding. http://m6.i.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/...wV.r1Large.JPG |
Another boxy square top that is hundreds of feet tall. With regards to its façade, I could not think of a worse muse than 432 Park Ave; the low standard in supertall design.

I love that this development is so close to transit (multiple subway lines and the LIRR), so no need for bulky parking podiums at the base. It really is a small footprint for everything involved, keeping with the density of the area.. |
I love it. Sometimes with a simple move like that angled wall a building becomes so much more interesting. The materials look quality also.

Downtown Brooklyn's architecture is creeping slowly out of the bargain basement. Still an uninspired design, but better than the garbage of the past decade.

Now this is a project that can help build the community. Has a hell of an offer with schools, culture space, 900 apartments, infrastructure improvements, and Class A space. :cheers:
A lesson to other developers hint hint! Schools and infrastructure improvements are like seroquel to a NIMBY. It just makes them happy. |

I think the tallest tower strikes a balance with 9 DeKalb. I wouldn't want a similar tower at this site. The difference in designs allows the two towers to play well off each other. |

atlantic and flatbush is the most under utilized space in the city. Fantastic transit access, close to prospect park, lots of beautiful tree-lined brownstone-y streets and great restaurants and pubs. |
Remember back in the day the whole Atlantic Yards debate regarding the Williamsburg Bank Tower and how ONLY it should be the tallest in the borough. Fast forward 6 years and look at whats to come, and... what has risen. Borough continues to climb the ladder.

This is a great project. However, it is a little concerning that it will need to go through ULURP to rezone the site.

Keep in mind this is a public project, and they've already been working with Landmarks. The affordable housing is there, as well as schools. There's nothing for NIMBYs to fall back on. There will be the usual noise, but they're already getting what they could reasonably ask for. |
Knew these guys would be on it sooner or later...
