That project has a thread, nobody ever seems to post in it though.
The only reason I posted this in a separate thread is because I didnât want it to go unnoticed on the low-rise general development page, since thereâs a lot of activity on the low-rise general development thread.

250 flatbush - park slope

Sucks that they couldnât get the Orangetheory building to the right. The cantilever isnât as bad as we typically see, but they probably would have been abled to add more units if they could have obtained the additional building.
Itâs not as bad as we typically see, itâs worse. Unlike many 'levers that are setback, this one is the on the same plane as the rest of the streetwall facade, and it looks ridiculous. For the love of all things good and right I hope the developers can negotiate the purchase of the last single-story taxpayer. I donât like the fact the city allows cantilevers at all, but some are executed quite smartly. This is not one if them. This is an architectural abomination. It also looks like a cat.
Am I the only one who likes it?
Yes, most do look bad - some manage to minimize the visual discombobulation.
This is one example of a cantilever that is not (too) visually awkward looking. Cantilevers on buildings are mostly awful looking because they appear âtop heavyâ - they violate the natural instinct for balance, gravitational forces, and good proportion in general.
BTW - It doesnât look at all like a CAT. I have never seen a cat that is not pretty. ![]()
The march up Flatbush to Grand Army begins. Iâm just waiting for the entire block of 314 Flatbush to get redeveloped next.

So close. Just one more floor on the base and it would have looked 100x better and, you know, made sense. Thanks stupid NYC zoning code.

Found this interesting post by Tectonicphoto on Instagram taken in Brooklyn. The densification continues!
Isnât this the horrid project featured today? I wish I could applaud this building beyond just its added density.
where in Brooklyn is this?
