Set Speed alerts to news from the Brooklyn Eagle that strongly suggests that the site of the 320-foot tower designed by Scarano Architects is likely to be the large lot at South Oxford and Hanson. The tip-off? Word that the design for the tower “preserves an existing three-story 1830s landmark mansion on the site.” Well, the 8-bedroom house that Belgian artist Marc Lambrechts occupied for years before unloading for $13 million certainly matches that description. If true, the preservation of the house is great news. It will be interesting to see how it fits in with the overall design.
