From 1.18.21:
This is a good tower. FX has done some nice stuff around town.
For a blank wall I applaud them. Pleasing to look upon.
This is one of the nicer new buildings in Downtown Brooklyn. The blue terra cotta looks really nice and they actually bothered to dress up the blank wall. The architects, FXCollaborative, are moving their offices here, and I don’t blame them. Must be cool to go to work in a building you helped design.
They’ve started on the park. The temporary pop-up park is gone, fences are up, and heavy equipment is working on site.
with Downtown Brooklyn pedestrianizing, this little corner will probably be popular.
fantastic to see leasing activity here because the redevelopment of Downtown Brooklyn has by and large been residential focused. This tower and the Macys store are the only office developments I can think of off the of my head.
In the largest deal, Ms. Foundation for Women, a national social justice foundation started by Gloria Steinem, leased 11,000 square feet on the entire 20th floor of the 34-story building
The organization will be joined by fintech firm Propel, which agreed to the entire 17th floor of the building,
Walnut Ridge, a nonprofit and philanthropic organization, also signed a lease for 5,000 square feet on a portion of the 16th floor.
