Development Watch: 110 4th Avenue
We’ve been checking out the development site at 4th Avenue and Warren Street for around six months now, where a crew’s been readying the foundation for a 49-unit building called the Park Slope Court (see rendering on jump).

We’ve been checking out the development site at 4th Avenue and Warren Street for around six months now, where a crew’s been readying the foundation for a 49-unit building called the Park Slope Court (see rendering on jump). Tona Development, which had a hand in the Novo and Hotel Le Bleu, is behind the planned 58,000-square-footer. The building’s a Scarano design that’s slated to have interiors by Andres Escobar, who also worked on Le Bleu. Like the looks of it? GMAP DOB
I live at 111 4th so I’m tickled pink that they are jacking my rent for the one bedroom by $200 because of the vibrancy that is VERY VERY slowly being brought to 4th Ave. Someone said 4th Ave was going to be the new Park Avenue of Brooklyn in a few years. Should I be scared?
Speaking of Le Bleu, now that they have finally opened, does anybody know how they’re doing?
Funny… I live in Park Slope Court and it’s located at 270 5th Street. Do these people ever check to see if a name is already taken?
I think they know street level will be retail space because that is what DOB permit and application say (check the link).
But, of course, so much easier to make snap judgment and be critical of everything.
I would call this a well-proportioned POS. In other words, some truly horrendous elements (portholes, blocky slab framing, prison-like grids) have been arranged in a fairly well-organized manner, and so the whole thing doesn’t seem to look as bad as it really is. But make no mistake: It’s awful. At best, Miami Beach circa 1987. This will also look considerably worse in-person than it does in this highly idealized rendering.
Dear moron at 11.48,
do you really think 4th will be upzoned without adding a comm overlay in the zone!!!
you shouldn’t be allowed to post here for the next 2 weeks MORON!!!!
you people will always complain about every single building in NYC, but I can never understand why? do you prefer those big brick boxes going up a few blocks down from this one, like the novo and the crest and hotel le bleu.
why can’t you people enjoy this transformation that Brooklyn is going through.
Hey moron at 11.48 your docked understand!!!!
Yours truly,

No, you sound like the architect, how do you know there will be retail, schmuck?
There will be retail on the ground floor so relax and stop trying to fit these jobs into a nice neat little box of old or new and allow your mind to open to something that is basically easy to look at like a piece of art that has layers of expressive meanings.
It could be worse it could have been designed by Karl Fisher or worse yet Henry Radusky.
BTW post 12:50 must be his marketing guy.
By the way, if you are a real oldtimer, you remember when the Citibank was on 5’th Avenue, not 7’th
