Sunset Parker seems to have signed off permanently. That is the only one that I found. We have lived there for seven years or so and love it, the place is slowly gentrifying but its biggest plus are the huge rivers of life flowing through the Mexican and Chinese avenues (Fifth and Eighth). People are riled up about unchecked building and there is a new waterfront park underway from 44th to 60th. Enjoy the neighborhood, we do.

A Cortelyou Rd approach with cobblestone accents, shepards crook lights, benches, trees, and a clock or two would be very appropriate.

Nice building but the huge cross on the 4th ave end of it is a bit over the top.

Brooklyn needs a lot more class A office space. This area would be great for it, why isn't it being built??

Black brick is fugly and depressing. Look at the set of buildings around Fulton and Flatbush. Geez Mareez what are they thinking?

So, a lot of middle class Brooklyn property owners living in the brownstone crescent are real estate obssessed - no surprise there.

I would like to see more folks from other parts of the borough: like the whole southern half. This burg is only about 11.5 miles from top to bottom and it would be good to involve more parts of it in the discussions.

I believe we need more office buildings downtown. Companies are moving to NJ in part because there is a scarcity of large floor, class A space in Brooklyn.

This is only 250 feet less than the Empire State Building! Not my idea of Brooklyn's future. Are we going to get into competition with Manhattan for most unlivable borough? I was born here, lived in Manhattan for 1/2 my life, and am now back. I want my skies open or blocked by trees not by a wall of glass and steel.

Stop the madness.

Come on now, if this was 10 stories taller it would look like so many of the residential fish-tanks that have proliferated over the last few years. Not that much worse than On Prospect Park, is it?

A dog's breakfast, at best. This looks bad in rendering and will be horrendous in person. "Modern" doesn't have to be ugly. Architecture should always value beauty over everything else. Over time the classic building in the background will continue to look far better than this new crap.
