Will Flatbush be recognizable in a few years? Developers are tearing down all the standalone Victorians they can get their hands on, and now we have renderings for the 23-story tower Hello Living is planning at 1580 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush.

The tall height of the building is a departure for the firm, which, much like Brookland Capital, tends to focus on medium-size and medium-rise condo buildings in Brooklyn. New York YIMBY published the renderings Tuesday. Tall buildings are more difficult and expensive to construct, but the design of these looks pretty basic to us.

The planned tower, located just a few blocks from Brooklyn College, will have 153 apartments over two stories of medical offices, as we’ve already reported. The architect of record is Vincent Martineau, although Loadingdock5 did the renderings, according to YIMBY.

  1. ^agreed. the height is nuts, but the stepped design will make it a little easier to stomach. and the only thing that used to be in place of this was a featureless 1-story brick warehouse type building.
