There was another article summarizing the building boom in Downtown Brooklyn yesterday, this one from The Brooklyn Eagle. In addition to dropping the fact that 300 buildings had to be demolished to create Flatbush Extension when the Manhattan Bridge built, the article pulled together some good summary statistics for the building boom that is already underway along this corridor: 2,667 new residential units, 3 million square feet of new space, 2,500 feet of high rises. Most of the projects—like the Bridgeview and Oro, above—have been mentioned here and elsewhere on numerous occasions. One project that was news to us was a 417,000-square-foot complex consisting of 348 market-rate rentals on Tillary between Prince and Gold. Are they buying out the McDonald’s or something?
