Man, it seems like they’ve been digging the humongous hole for the Dermot Company’s high-rise residential tower at 29 Flatbush for years—which they have, since the official groundbreaking was in late 2010—but a construction worker at the site on Monday said steel should start rising within the next couple weeks. Here’s the official line from a spokesperson for the developer: “The project is continuing as anticipated with a superstructure that will begin to rise this spring.” The building, which will top 40 stories, will have 327 studio, one- and two-bedroom rentals. It’s being built in the development-heavy BAM Cultural District/Downtown Brooklyn border zone.

  1. Seems the final appearance is undecided, as the architect’s site (http://www.ilarch.com/ ) shows the tower with and without brick skin.

    IMO, the most interest facade is thankfully the one on Flatbush, you can see it on slide 4 of the project on the site. Cool observatory notch!

    Also, from the renderings, it seems that the building will use different addresses for each entrance – and parking entrance (200 friggin’ spaces that will residents will never use – overkill!) will be on Rockwell Place.
