Slow progress. . . . but at least it's some type of progress!

This was taken in 388 Bridge. Right across the street.

Junior’s selling flagship location in Brooklyn

By Doyle Murphy
February 19, 2014

Junior’s plans to sell its downtown home, clearing the way for a new condo building with a really sweet perk — easy access to top-flight desserts.

The iconic eatery is expected to move out of its 17,000-square-foot flagship following the sale, but believes it can negotiate a deal to return as a tenant and open a new restaurant on the ground floor.

The building could rise at least 20 stories, and with air rights it could rise to become one of the borough's tallest. The property offers great street access in a borough that now rivals Manhattan on developers’ wish-lists

Still a pit, but lots of rebar and concrete going on.

Any photo updates?

[Tectonic]

Looks like they're just getting to street level at the southwestern side of the site ...thats along Bridge Street.

Thanks for the photos Tectonic.

It looks like this could move to the construction forum in a few months.

It's always nice to see these DT Brooklyn high rise buildings chugging along. Now we're just waiting for the Hub and the affordable housing building to go up.

Soon 388 Bridge won't look so lonely! I can't wait to see what the area will look like once City Point 3 rise and the Junior Tower.

yeah its coming along, but can't wait for the nearby flatbush/willoughby city point tower to go up - that will dominate.

Brooklyn should have it's own building diagram again.

Another tallest for Brooklyn well on its way up, they have been coming one right after the other since the Brooklyner went up. This one looks like it will end up in the same category as 388 Bridge, nothing terribly special but not too bad either.

No sign of it stopping either with The Hub, City Point phase 3, and the Junior's site towers on the way. It will be interesting to see which of the latter two ends up as the taller, more prominent building. No matter what the borough is going to a fairly impressive amount of 150+ meter towers in the near future.

2 shots from earlier. . . This one is moving rather quickly. Even though it's title will also be short lived for the tallest in Brooklyn. Lol

What's up with Downtown Brooklyn residential construction? Part Two




Downtown Brooklyn towers overshadow the Avalon Willoughby West development — for now. When completed, the new building will be Brooklyn's tallest.




Avalon Willoughby West stands several stories above its construction fence.

Avalon Willoughby West, 100 Willoughby St.

The structural framework of Avalon Willoughby West has risen several stories above its construction fence.

Give it time — and this 57-story residential skyscraper that AvalonBay is building at 100 Willoughby St. will become the tallest tower in Brooklyn, its height just barely surpassing that of neighboring 388 Bridge St.

A spokesman for AvalonBay confirmed that 100 Willoughby will have 826 rental apartments, and told Eye on Real Estate the process of marketing them will start next spring.

The first apartments should be ready for occupancy next July or August and construction should be completed in September 2016, he said.


City Point, 70 Fleet St. and 336 Flatbush Ave. Extension

Two rental apartment towers are starting to soar at City Point, the 1.8 million-square-foot development that Washington Square Partners and Acadia Realty Trust are building on the site of the former Albee Square Mall.

Shoppers know City Point by the already finished Fulton Mall-facing retail building at 1 DeKalb Ave. that houses Armani Exchange.

From Flatbush Avenue Extension, the project has an entirely different — and quite dramatic — look, with new construction topped by yellow panels that glow like a golden crown.

We got word from a spokeswoman for the developers that the anticipated completion date for 250-unit Tower 1 is the end of next year, and half the apartments in the building will be affordable.

This building, whose address is 70 Fleet St., will be 27 stories tall, city Buildings Department filings indicate.

The anticipated completion date for 440-unit Tower 2 is mid-2016, the spokeswoman said.

This building, whose address is 336 Flatbush Ave. Extension, will be 38 stories tall, according to Buildings Department records.

By the way, commercial tenants headed for City Point include Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, discount fashion powerhouse Century 21 and City Target, which is a smaller-format version of popular (or at least it's popular with people whose credit and debit card info didn't get stolen) retailer Target.


340-366 Flatbush Ave. Extension

Plans have been drawn up for a 70-story skyscraper — which would knock the other contenders for Brooklyn's tallest building out of the running — at a site that's sandwiched between City Point and iconic cheesecake purveyor Junior's Restaurant.

The existing office building at 340-366 Flatbush Ave. Extension hasn't yet been demolished. But this is where Michael Stern's JDS Development intends to build a 775-foot tower with 495 apartments and 109,000 square feet of commercial space, a city Buildings Department filing indicates.

A closer look at the towers rising up at City Point.




That's Junior's to the left and City Point to the right. The building between them, 340-366 Flatbush Ave. Extension, is the site where a 70-story skyscraper is planned.

[NYRebel]

This view will drastically be different in a few years. . . 100 Willoughby will be across from the tallest building (at the moment) in the center, 388 Bridge Street. The crane we see though is from City Point)

Roxy Music – Avalon Lyrics

Now the party's over, I'm so tired
Then I see you coming out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion

Avalon

When the samba takes you out of nowhere
And the background's fading out of focus
Yes the picture's changing every moment
And your destination, you don't know it

Avalon

When you bossanova there's no holding
Would you have me dancing out of nowhere

Avalon [Repeats]

Coming along nicely.

As seen from an upper floor of 388 Bridge. Soon, the view from that room will be partially obstructed....
