Smile NEW YORK (Brooklyn) | 80 Dekalb | 365 FT / 111 M | 35 FLOORS | T/O

Another thread I would have sworn was around here but now appears to be gone. In any event, I like this guy alot. Over in WNY the appraisal is very strongly Gehry Lite, and I tend to agree, although this building definitely has a few elements that are not on Gehry, and that I don't expect to see over there. It's hard to see in these pics, but the floorplates are quite angular and sculpted in nature.

This is Ratner's "Beekman lite".

Second best recently built bldg in Brooklyn. Kind of remind me of something I might see in Miami rather than Brooklyn, but, a nice addition nonetheless.

I didn't think to grab a photo, but the BE@ Schemerhorn is, to me, the most Miami/Vegas-y building downtown. Here's some progress on this one, though.

That photo shows that the Brooklyn skyline is just a 700 footer away from changing the way people perceive the NY skyline.

Inside 36 Stories of Brooklyn's New Luxury Rental Livin'



Tuesday, November 10, 2009, by Joey


Straddling the Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene border and climbing 36 stories high, the 80 DeKalb Avenue luxury rental tower has been known as the new big Brooklyn thing that developer Bruce Ratner actually built. But lately it has taken on a new identity, DKLB BKLN, and this ready-to-go entry in a crowded field of new neighborhood rental towers (Avalon Fort Greene, The Brooklyner, etc.) is showing off its new personality.

The DKLB BKLN website has been fully fleshed out, including a peek at some rental rates. Under "Availability," the mentioned rents for December move-ins start at $1,955 for studios, $2,255 for 1BRs and $3,400 for 2BRs. It's amenities galore at 80 De—pardon us, DKLB BKLN. A sampling: sun deck, screening room, valet parking(!), 24-hour doorman, gym, billiards lounge, private terraces and sweet sweet washer/dryers. It's no Nets arena, but for Bruce, it'll have to do. For now!

My understanding is that move-ins have started. If I were in the city, I'd love to shop the 3 DTBKLN towers available right now and get photos from all 3 of them. Good luck to anyone willing to take the time to do so.

It was the tallest in Brooklyn until recently, when this monstrosity was built...http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=168502

You can see it farther in the distance, in the first shot.
