Brooklyn complex faces opposition from neighbors

...the real hate appears to come from residents of a single neighboring building — One Hanson Place, the former Williamsburg Bank tower that’s home to condo owners fearful of losing their views, a Post analysis has found.

Although often described as a “megaproject,” 80 Flatbush will have only about 1.3 million square feet, the size of a single large office tower, spread over five buildings on roughly 1.4 acres — three of them new and two dating from the 19th century. The triangular site two blocks from Barclays Center is bounded by Flatbush Avenue, Schermerhorn Street, Third Avenue and State Street.

Much of the staunchest resistance to it comes from residents of One Hanson Place, as reflected in negative comments submitted last summer to ECF Executive Director Jennifer Maldonado prior to an environmental review, and obtained by The Post.
Of 153 critical comments from nearby residents, more than 25 percent were from condo-dwellers at One Hanson Place. Some mentioned that a slender, 74-story tower planned at 80 Flatbush would block their views. Others reversed the perspective and said that it would prevent residents of other Brooklyn neighborhoods from seeing their own landmarked tower, famous for its top-floor clocks on four sides.
