My guess is close to 200 ft.

Seeing that the building next to it is supposed to be about 500' tall, I'd say 340' or more.

The parcel is also around 60-65 ft AMSL, so it'll gain a little boost when viewed from a distance or closer to 0' AMSL.

While essentially 1,099 ft, closer to 1,150 +/- 10 ft perception wise from afar.

Song for 9 Dekalb:

It was all a dream, I used to read Emporis magazine
Stern and Barnett up in the limousine
Hangin' SSP posters on my walls

You never thought that DoBro would take it this far
Now DoBros in the limelight 'cause we build tight
I'm buildin up like you thought I would
Call the DOB, same number, same permit, it's all good
And if you don't know, now you know

... And if you don't know, now you know

Wow, nice job, Chris. You're the skyscraper OG.

Hopefully the first Brooklyn supertall of many.

This is approximately 33% give or take of its final height.

Any ETA on the glazing, I imagine they would want to start buttoning this up before the winter?

chris08876 · #**1116** Posted **Oct 23, 2020, 1:10 PM**

I'd be inclined to think by mid to late December with the base if they are pushing for an aggressive time table.

That would be interesting. The newer buildings are so much better than 1WTC. And hopefully Foster's design for 2WTC gets built some day. It's still one of the best designs for the skyline, even after a decade and a half.
