Revisiting the Site of Brooklyn’s Flatiron Building

When we discussed the Clarett Group’s proposed design for a 28-story triangular tower a couple weeks back, we said we thought it would work given the site’s context a few blocks from where leafy-green Fort Greene really starts. But just to be sure, we trekked over to Ashland and Fulton earlier this week to take another look. Sure ‘nuf, while there are a handful of brownstones on Ashland that are going to suffer from being in the tower’s shadow, overall we think the location can handle the scale of the building.
