Someone on the Forum wonders why no one in Carroll Gardens is stewing over the under-construction 100 Luquer Street—which is set to rise quite a bit higher than neighborhood whipping boy 360 Smith Street. We checked in on the site, between Clinton and the BQE, and found that work on the project is well under way. Four stories are already finished; according to DOB permits, it’s going to reach 11 stories and 184 feet—way taller than any surrounding buildings. A rendering (at right) posted on Curbed more than a year ago shows the king-sized, Karl Fischer-designed tower lording over Luquer, but like the Forum poster, we haven’t heard any outcry about it recently. This one just considered a done deal?
