In the comments section of yesterday’s post about the building boom at Flatbush and Myrtle, a reader steered us towards the website of Dattner Architects. Turns out the renderings for the Catsimatidis (aka Red Apple Group) project on Myrtle Avenue between Prince and Ashland Place are up there for the viewing, though as far as we know they haven’t been published anywhere else yet. (This view is from Ashland looking west towards Flatbush.) There’s also more detail about the development than we’ve seen before. Here’s most of the project description from the website:

The development contains 660 apartments in a 37-story tower and 415 mixed-income apartments in mid-rise buildings ranging from 8 to 14 stories in height. Under a 50-30-20 plan, 50% of the mixed income housing will be market rate, 30% will be middle-income affordable and 20% will be low-income affordable. The development includes approximately 290,000 sf of commercial space and sub-grade parking.

The dramatic apartment tower rises to 400 feet…The tower floor plan cantilevers on the upper floors, creating larger apartments and a distinctive architectural expression. The adjoining mid-rise buildings step down from 14 stories to 8 stories to the east, mediating in scale between the height and density of downtown Brooklyn and the lower scale neighborhood of Ft. Greene. A masonry base along Myrtle Avenue balances the residential character of the neighborhood with a continuous retail presernce along the street. More extensive glazed areas above give the buildings a sense of lightness.

The whole concept seems pretty well thought through to us.
