Forte's Law: Doubling Height Every Month
When Curbed checked in on Forte's progress in early December the Flatiron-of-Fort-Greene was about six stories high; as of this past weekend, it was over twelve. How long before it tops off at 28? Anyone know who will be marketing the 108 condo units and then sales will get under way?

I met one of the marketing people at floyds. She's 23, blonde, and super-hot; she's from colorado.

my wife is also from colorado and i think she's super-hot too...(but granted, not 23! ;)

I guess we know who sat at home alone on New Year's Eve...
Isn't there a minimum age requirement on this site?
Anyone know how tall the new condos on Clinton Avenue between Fulton and Atlantic are getting? It is a very welcome sight from my door on Putnam Avenue (really it is, as it makes the posher parts of Clinton Hill seem within reach if only I reach a little higher).

This bldg is SO out of scale to me, it just makes that whole block seem out of wack. Even though it will fit right in with the new developments in the next few years :(.
The bldg looks like it's going to tip over when you drive up Fulton st. The street slopes on the eastbound side, give you a weird slanted feeling with the huge bldg on one side and an empty lot on the other.

Clinton Court (the new building on Clinton between Fulton and Atlantic) is as tall as it's going to get. 14 floors, I think.

Marketing is the developer, Clarett Group. Several units already in contract. Sales office in Manhattan and on Weds at Beisl's restauruant across from BAM.

Any REBNY agent (Brown Harris Stevens, Halstead, Douglas Elliman, Corcoran, etc.) in town can get you in to show you the place. It makes sense to work with a local broker to see this kind of thing so that you can get somebody to help you negotiate and to show you other properties as well.

I find it bizarre that they couldn't find a better solution to layouts than setting the building back from the street wall. Who approved that?
Meanwhile, is there retail space in the ground floor?

Babs is mostly right, but there will be a sales office opening in brooklyn. There's a trailer parked across the street from the Forte that looks like it's gonna open soon as a sales office.

And who wouldn't want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars while sitting in a trailer?

6:12, Forte is set back because there is an easement along the west side of Ashland Place. I have seen marketing where the developer advertises the open space as an amenity, but they didn't really have any choice.
p-d, the center portion of Clinton Avenue, between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue, is zoned R6A. The height limits for that district are; base: 40' min, 60' max; building: 70'. The first 100 feet into the block from either Fulton Street or Atlantic Avenue is zoned R7A. The height limits for that district are; base: 40' min, 65' max; building: 80'.

4:05: I think they get a zoning bonus for the plaza, too. A win-win scenario for the developer.

Any idea who is marketing/selling the Clinton Court condos (b/w Fulton and Atlantic)? I'm interested and want info.
