Also included in Adam’s state of the city address today, with no other details.
The Adams administration will also advance housing projects at 395 Flatbush in Downtown Brooklyn, on the waterfront at Coney Island West, and in St. George on Staten Island.
Existing condition:
Site is directly between 589 Fulton (The Brook) and 625 Fulton, so perhaps we will see something in a similar 500’-600’ range here.
I suppose it goes without saying that the plan is to demolish and not to pursue adaptive reuse?
Was it possible to achieve an almost supertall with the new FAR 17?
0ver 800 Feet
YES
that podium is ugly tear that sh*t down
Part of the podium will be torn down (the southernmost portion).
Unfortunately it will be “just the tip.”
The portion that will be torn down will be replaced with a pedestrian plaza.
I would imagine the podium will also be reclad and thus look less ugly.
y’all are funnnyyyy lol
I hope they reclad the old building but keep the arcade as is (although they can upgrade some of the stores underneath - in particular, that Seven eleven)
It definitely seems like the podium is getting completely redone from the concept images no worries.
looks like the arcade is gone, but they keep the corner of dekalb open - that’s where the subway entrance is now - I guess that the plaza on Fulton will make up for the loss
„ The project is also expected to include a 4,750-square-foot public plaza, 66,000 square feet of retail, 75,000 square feet of commercial space and an “expanded and heightened” entrance at the DeKalb Avenue subway station.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development is proposing to rezone 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Brooklyn to make way for a 1.5-million-square-foot residential tower. The project would have 1,263 apartments, of which 253 to 379 would be affordable to those, on average, earning at or below 80 percent of the area median income, according to details released Monday.“
„ The new 395 Flatbush will be a major addition to the skyline, towering high as the second tallest building in Brooklyn.
Looks good! Reminds me of the original 80 Flatbush proposal
