We’re a couple of days late to market with this rendering of the Avalon Bay project slated for the northeast corner of Flatbush Extension and Myrtle—it appeared in an off-line-only section of The Post last weekend (where Curbed grabbed it and posted earlier this week). The specs on the project—42 stories, 650 rental units—have been common knowledge for some time but they’d kept the pretty pictures under wraps. Besides being huge, this looks like it could be decent, though it’s hard to get a feel for the choice of materials. Look for a 2009 completion…The other take-away from the article was this quote from Joe Chan, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership: “Somewhere in the pipeline, there are about 14,000 residential units and a million and a half square feet of office space.” How you like them apples?
