775 feet in Brooklyn? Awesome

I hope Queens joins in getting a new tallest soon

^^^

Keep in mind that this could gain some extra height due to the extra development rights. So really, this could breach the 900 foot mark. Time will tell. The race is on when it comes to who will get the tallest. Is it Queens, Brooklyn, or even JC. The race to the first supertall.

In terms of highrises, Queens is really shining on the category. The recent December permit frenzy is revealing that Queens is leading the boroughs when it comes to construction; especially in the over 12 floor category.

Posting from the 111 thread. Though not confirmed, Brooklyn was mentioned as one of the locations of SHoP's 4 supertalls currently in the works in New York...let's speculate.
(Also, though SHoP is working on this tower, they could also be working for Barnett on CityPoint 3.)

SHoP is working on 4 towers of over 1,000 ft tall, (13:18) though he couldn't go into specifics at this time. He mentions them as:

- 111 w 57th

- the High Line

- Brooklyn

- Lower Manhattan

BTW, there's only one dot on that NY project map where both the Extell and JDS towers would be, so I'm going to go ahead and say the supertall Brooklyn project (which Gregg Pasquarelli says would be by far the tallest in Brooklyn) would be this one.

That's very intriguing. It's about time Brooklyn gets a solid, nicely designed supertall.

Yes, and beyond that, a nicely designed tower. Brooklyn has been seeing a steady stream of crap - nice development, but nothing to write home about architecturally. And I'm not hard to please. So hopefully SHoP will give us something not only noteworthy for it's height, but something Brooklyn can be proud of and glad to claim as tallest.

Wow! 1,000 FT+ in Brooklyn. I knew they day would come but this is sooner than I thought (which is cool). This is exciting for the borough and the city as a whole !

I agree however, this tower has to be stunning. It'll be a signature tower for the borough for a while (most likely) so SHoP must deliver something spectacular. I believe they will.

Great video finding NYGuy lets hope for the best!

[NYguy]

^ Yeah, and there's still the matter of what Barnett has planned for Citypoint 3. That's a little further off, but it would be something if Extell topped JDS here like JDS did with 111 and One57. They should play that game around the city, wherever one builds, the other follows. And we decide who did it better......

We don't even have a massing image.

The tower will rise along this stretch of Flatbush...

There's a lot of activity in Brooklyn now, but when this tower is built it will change everything.

1,000-Foot Tower Is Probably Coming to Downtown Brooklyn

Wednesday, August 5, 2015
Zoe Rosenberg

Downtown Brooklyn might be getting its own 1,000-plus-foot tower. Developers Michael Stern of JDS Development and Joe Chetrit of Chetrit Group have been trying for a while now to cobble together development rights for a major project on the small triangular block bounded by Flatbush Avenue Extension, Dekalb Avenue, and Fleet Street. With news that Stern's forked over $90 million for the landmarked Dimes Savings Bank and its 300,000 square feet of development rights on that very block, it looks like the duo have something up their sleeves. According to Crain's, the developers have now amassed about 600,000 square feet of development rights, or enough square footage to erect a building on par in height with the Empire State Building.

Chetrit and Stern purchased a small triangular site on the block at 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension in June of 2014 for $43 million, with initial plans to erect a 775-foot-tall tower designed by SHoP Architects. It looks like the developers put the kibosh on that project, as they continued to seek air rights surrounding the site after those initial permits were filed. In September, Chetrit and Stern—and everyone else who made multi-million dollar offers—were turned down by the family that owns Junior's Most Fabulous Cheesecake and Deserts, who briefly put their Flatbush Avenue Extension storefront on the market before deciding that tradition trumps dollars.

Because of the 150-year-old bank's landmarked status, it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Crain's suggests that it might become high-end retail space related to the project, or perhaps be incorporated as lobby space alongside a new tower in a way similar to how Stern is incorporating the landmarked interior of the former Steinway & Sons showroom at his tower at 111 West 57th Street.

Per Crains NY this building may be as tall as the ESB. This will probably be the dominant landmark of downtown Brooklyn.

JDS, Chetrit could build 1,000-foot resi tower in Brooklyn

Apparently, Michael Stern has a penchant for height. After introducing one of the tallest towers in the city to Billionaires’ Row — the more than 1,400-square-foot tall 111 West 57th Street, which Stern’s JDS is co-developing with Property Markets Group — the developer is now contemplating building the tallest residential skyscraper in Brooklyn, according to Crain’s. Stern and partner Joseph Chetrit‘s the Chetrit Group are buying the former Dime Savings Bank of New York at 9 Dekalb Avenue for $90 million from JPMorgan Chase. The landmarked site comes with roughly 300,000 square feet of development rights. Stern and Chetrit could use the rights to build a roughly 600,000-square-foot tower next door at 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension, which the pair already own. If realized, it’d be the tallest tower ever built in Brooklyn. To date, no towers have exceeded 1,000 square feet in the outer boroughs, according to the website. The exact height of the tower is unknown, but will likely be between 1,000 and 1,200 feet. Cushman & Wakefield’s Bob Knakal represented the landlord.
