NEW YORK | 395 Flatbush Avenue | 840 FT | 80 FLOORS

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?

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.

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
