141 Willoughby Street Cleared And Ready For Excavation In Downtown Brooklyn

YIMBY checked in on 141 Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn, the site of a forthcoming 23-story office building. Demolition has concluded and the land sits awaiting excavation for the 360-foot-tall structure, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects with SLCE Architects as the architect of record. Gregory Jaffe of Savanna is listed as the owner on the applications that were filed in June 2019.

Photos show the state of the trapezoidal plot, which is bound by Willoughby Street, Gold Street, and the southbound lanes of Flatbush Avenue. The site was formerly occupied by a three-story low-rise building that housed the Institute of Design and Construction.

The proposed development will span 363,336 square feet, with 310,077 square feet designated for offices. The steel superstructure will include retail space on the cellar and ground floors. No official renderings for the upcoming office edifice have been seen, but the property will certainly be conspicuous when exiting the Manhattan Bridge and entering the heart of Downtown Brooklyn. Though far short of the skyscraper status boasted by nearby developments like Brooklyn Point, 141 Willoughby Street would nevertheless bring a wealth of new office space to the expanding neighborhood.

The site is one block away from the DeKalb Avenue subway station, serviced by the B, Q, and R trains. The 2 and 3 trains at the Hoyt Street station are also nearby to the south on Fulton Street.

A start and completion date for 141 Willoughby Street has not been announced.

Exclusive Renderings Reveal High-Rise At 141 Willoughby Street In Downtown Brooklyn

In an exclusive reveal, YIMBY is pleased to share new renderings of a 24-story mixed-use tower in Downtown Brooklyn designed by SLCE Architects and Fogarty Finger. Located at 141 Willoughby Street, the building was originally expected to support a mix of ground-floor retail, student housing, office space, and residential units. It was also speculated that the building could climb as high as 44 stories with approximately 310,000 buildable square feet. However, the latest pair of renderings appear to reveal a dedicated commercial tower with office suites positioned above the second floor.

Available documents from developer Savanna Real Estate do not mention any design specifications for the project. This includes an updated building footprint, construction materials, or a construction timeline.

Referring exclusively to the new renderings, it appears that the first two levels will be dedicated to a technology-focused retail tenant. The structure supports landscaped terraces above the ninth and 19th floors that will most likely be reserved for select office suites. The building features floor-to-ceiling windows with light gold metallic mullions.

At this time, it appears the renderings are still preliminary illustrations of the final project, which is currently in the design development phase. The site was formerly occupied by the Institute of Design and Construction, which was demolished in 2019.

Saw a good amount of activity at this site driving by today. Looks like they’re beginning excavation.

This one looks to be under construction now. Site excavation is fully underway.

.....For the big buildings, however, cost is no object. Peter Rosenthal, principal director of development and chief sustainability officer at Savanna, which owns 7 million square feet in New York, was not worried about the costs. The entire Savanna portfolio achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating in March.

“For us, as it’s all about the tenants which are our clients and we want to do all we can for them,” Rosenthal said. “It’s a very robust requirement to get the full WELL Certification and our new 400,000-square-foot office building [at 141 Willoughby St., Brooklyn] is on track to get the full WELL Certified Gold. To have our tenants feel comfortable and know that when they can come into our building it is a safe environment — you can’t put a price on it.”

I really like this one. It's scale and shape has sort of a Potsdamer Platz feel to it.

Especially in red hot Downtown Brooklyn right now, I feel like these shorter developments add a necessary variation of scale. If every building is extremely tall, you lose some of the human scale and risk a feeling of sterility (see: Hudson Yards...and I still like HY for what it is)
