I wonder if that design even works anymore now that 501 Summit Ave is built. This one’s tower is road-side and I’d imagine that could cause setback issues (sunlight to the ground) and/or wind issues. Might need a redesign. I’m not a civil engineer or urban planner though, just using my basic knowledge on how plans get approved, so I could be totally wrong.
The design is written into the legal settlement agreement. I doubt they’ll go back and renegotiate it with the city.
The plan has been revised again. Instead of 902 apartments, there will be 696.
Instead of 200 parking spaces, there will be 47.
The retail component has been removed (a mistake IMO given demand is picking up for retail space in the neighborhood).
No renderings I can share publicly yet.

At least there’s some news.
Is there any indication yet as to whether the park & community center portions will be redesigned as well?
Those are part of the settlement agreement and won’t be redesigned, though details may be filled in.

That’s a pile driver. Did this finally get sold?
Either the new owners or a prospective owner is doing a survey and geotechnical report on the soil conditions for the site.

The developers and architect was at the Hilltop Association meeting last night. They are going for a very reflective, white siding but didn’t see any up close facade details besides the front view from Summit Ave.

I love going to places like journal square, downtown Brooklyn, etc. and just looking at all the change that has occurred since the 2000s.

Is this still the same developer or it changed hands?
