Demolition Finishes for Forthcoming 450-Unit High-Rise at 275 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn
Quote:
Demolition has concluded at 275 Flatbush Avenue Extension, the site of a forthcoming five-tower, 450-unit residential complex in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by J Frankl Architects and developed by Jacob Kohn of The Jay Group, the conjoined structures are planned to stand 27 stories and 293 feet tall, each with 90 units and two cellar levels. The developer purchased six adjacent lots for $75 million from Pearl Realty Management to form a 39,000-square-foot assemblage at the corner of Flatbush Avenue Extension and Willoughby Street. The deal also included $12.5 million of air rights transferred by the nearby 147 Pearl Street.
Recent photographs show the lot surrounded by wooden fencing and fully cleared of its former low-rise commercial occupants. A lone excavator sits idly on site, but a groundbreaking date for the project remains unclear.
No renderings have been released for the project apart from the zoning diagram below, which is oriented looking east. The towers are shown conjoined to form a J-shaped massing. The structures rise uniformly up to a flat parapet capped with individual bulkheads, with only one shallow setback depicted spanning across the towers’ ninth floors along the Willoughby Street- and Flatbush Avenue-facing elevations.
The assemblage is comprised of 104-106 Fleet Place, 159 and 166 Willoughby Street, and 287 Flatbush Avenue Extension, and will rise adjacent to a 12-story residential building at 167 Willoughby Street on the southeastern corner of the city block. Current zoning allows for the project to span up to 462,000 square feet.
