111 Lawrence Street topped out this week at 51 stories, making it the tallest building in Brooklyn. At the same time, the rental building also got a new name—The Brooklyner.

In addition to killer views, the building will also boast 24-hour concierge service and a full fitness center.

If 1400 units is what it takes to bring the Brooklyn wintertime temps to 80 degrees – then i say plant some palm trees and sign me up.
between this building, Avalon and 80 Dekalb there are about 1400 rental units coming to this area. Brooklyn is going to be like Miami when this is all done.
It’s not an attractive word -Brooklyner- maybe it sounds better in the original Dutch. They should take a clue from the many charming names given to buildings in the past that Montrosse is so helpfully showcasing today.
From the press release:
With varying shades of earth tones and patterns reflective of Brooklyn’s historic brownstone homes and architectural elements found in the nearby neighborhood, the exterior walls are designed with a “basket-weave†aesthetic. According to Randy Gerner, AIA, Principal of GKV Architects and lead architect on the development, “The design of The Brooklyner was greatly influenced by the textures and colors of the neighborhoods that surround it. The architecture is intended to weave the urban fabric into the facade, transforming the building into a structure that is distinctly modern, attractively innovative and authentically Brooklyn.â€
Isn’t the word for a Brooklyn resident “Brooklynite”, not “Brooklyner”? Is a “Brooklyner” a pastry, like a “Berliner”?
That is an excellent image of Downtown Brooklyn with Manhattan in the background. It must be a digitally mastered photo/rendering. It makes Brooklyn look good. It even makes 111 look not bad.
At least this tower was built were it belongs, among the other tall buildings of the Downtown district. I don’t mind it. If it houses a garage and a supermarket it could be a nice place to live, especially on one of the high floors.
Future Low-Income housing..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
wrong 11. And at least 20 before they figure out it is manHATtan not MANhattan.
Got to wonder how they are going to fill such a large building up. Maybe more luxury apts for the homeless?
