New York YIMBY uncovered new renderings for Two Trees’ planned skyscraper at 286 Ashland Place, also known as the BAM South site, by landscape architects Grain Collective. The renderings of the landscaping show a new view of the 32-story tower as well as details of the outdoor and cultural space. The public courtyard features a stepped sitting area and raised platform.

As reported, the development will have 384 apartments, 20 percent of which will be affordable. The building will also have 21,928 square feet of retail, 45,148 square feet of cultural space (including a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library), and a large outdoor courtyard.

The architect of record is Ismael Levya, and Ten Arquitectos is designing the development. Do you think the landscaping will enhance the area?

  1. Putnam denizen, you’ve conflated two of my points, that the building will be entirely in shadow during certain parts of the day, and that sitting on the steps will be a lot different. I didn’t say anything about sitting on the steps during the day. Anyway, just because there’s a big “transportation hub” doesn’t mean the transportation there can accommodate lots of giant buildings bringing thousands of new residents to the area.

  2. Well the point of the comment section is to express your opinions or beliefs.
    Just because you don’t care that doesn’t mean “no one cares”. I enjoy reading comments, whether or not they’re negative ones.
