470-4th-avenue-rendering-021014

Here’s what the new rental building going up at 470 4th Avenue near 11th Street will look like. The Real Deal published the rendering Friday, which it received in a press release.

It looks like the building may be red brick with a glassy set back. The drawing shows a 14-story building, though it could wind up being 12 stories, as we wrote Friday. The structure will be at least three times higher than its immediate neighbors on the block, although there is a similarly sized new building down the street at 4th Avenue and 12th Street. Permits for the new build have not yet been filed.

What do you think of the design?

  1. It is a shame that the whole character of our Brooklyn neighborhoods and all of our low rise brick buildings are becoming nothing more than glass highrises, thus more people and more over crowding.

    This one isn’t ugly, but it is still another high rise….
