Development Watch: 388 Bridge Street
We're not sure how we've managed not to cover this one until now but...a 49-story tower is in the early stages of construction at 388 Bridge Street in Brooklyn. The developer is another huge national builder—Pulte Homes. Designed by SLCE Architects, the 460,000-square-foot residential building is slated to have 360 units. Of course, the final plans have yet to be approved so we shall see. A reader directed us to a rendering here (Projects=>Exteriors=>388 Bridge Street). Waddya think? GMAP P*Shark DOB

That is neither the design nor the developer.

Excellent. The boro needs more rental units.

I concur with the above comment regarding the developer. Googling the phone number for the developer shown on the DOB site gets: Stahl Real Estate at 277 Park Avenue. The following NYT article about the death of the founder in 1999 gives some background:

ok, but the DOB permit app shows SCLE as architect and the rendering at their site is titled 388 bridge street, so #1 - do you have an alternative design that you could share?
and to answer b-stoner's question - what i think about this is that i love it.

Isn't this the Al Laboz (United Land) project that has been covered in the Post, Voice, Observer, etc.?

I like this building. Downtown needs more rentals as the other poster noted. This building looks very similiar to the rental in Downtown Manahattan that just got built last year. It's near Broaway and City Hall Park area. Can' remember the name of it.

barclay tower, and speaking of which, does anyone know if there are plans to illuminate the crown on that puppy? - would look mighty fine up against wtc 7 and new gs hq crowns at night.

2:08: United American Land is the block between Bridge and Duffield. This project is on the other (west) side of Bridge.
