Does anybody know what two old fashioned looking low towers are going up in Crown Heights, not too far from the Bedford Armory? I can see them from my window if I look East/North-East from Montgomery towards Bedford Ave. They don’t match anything I could find here on Yimby, including The Armory designs, plus they might not be on the same block.

I think thats way too far. I doubt these are even East of Nostrand.  
But thanks for the suggestion.

No, I found out it is the new Armory buildings. The inner supports are shaped nothing like the finished product. Thanks, though. I appreciate your efforts.

There’s a massive crowd of development going on over here in this part of CH. It is almost astonishing. I wish those 39 story towers would’ve went up around here. It’s a mini city of its own in this corner.

This is the right size for this area - I was at the Botanic Gardens this morning. You can see all the new developments poking up. I’m glad they are not 39 stories high.
