Jackhammering erupted yesterday on Dean Street near Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, where workers are putting up a plywood fence around part of the old Nassau Brewery complex. Demolition applications were filed and approved but not yet issued in July for the brick building at 1048 Dean Street and the wood buildings at 1042 Dean Street and 1046 Dean Street. (The brick building is pictured to the right of the blue shed, above, and after the jump.)
As we’ve already reported, ODA is designing a glassy mixed-use building here that will be eight stories high with 120 units, including 20 percent affordable.

All that glass is wasted on the surroundings; there are no great views to look at and the occupants will probably have such a mish-mosh of window treatments, the whole building will end up looking a mess.
Otherwise a great design, just the wrong location for it.
Not a bad looking building but the design does not fit the area. Shame.
I agree, it looks modern and sleek, tasteful designs. These apts will have really good light with all the glass.
