So That's What Avalon Myrtle Will Look Like!
We’re a couple of days late to market with this rendering of the Avalon Bay project slated for the northeast corner of Flatbush Extension and Myrtle—it appeared in an off-line-only section of The Post last weekend (where Curbed grabbed it and posted earlier this week).

We’re a couple of days late to market with this rendering of the Avalon Bay project slated for the northeast corner of Flatbush Extension and Myrtle—it appeared in an off-line-only section of The Post last weekend (where Curbed grabbed it and posted earlier this week). The specs on the project—42 stories, 650 rental units—have been common knowledge for some time but they’d kept the pretty pictures under wraps. Besides being huge, this looks like it could be decent, though it’s hard to get a feel for the choice of materials. Look for a 2009 completion…The other take-away from the article was this quote from Joe Chan, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership: “Somewhere in the pipeline, there are about 14,000 residential units and a million and a half square feet of office space.” How you like them apples?

I had read somewhere (can’t remember where) that Giuliani had tried to move those projects to East New York. Anyone know about this? And how would it affect this Avalon monstrosity? Is it supposed to be luxury rentals?
What about the fact that there is a huge public housing project 1/2 block away?
oops–I meant the 14,000 new residential units Chan mentions total.
Will there really be enough people to fill all the new condos and these 14,000 rental units? What is their intended demographic/clientele?
wow.
it’s so hard to imagine… it’s going to be interesting watching this area change so dramatically.

This would be the same Avalon involved with all those soulless towers in Long Island City, right?

thanks. fixed the link.
Great spot to build. It connects Dumbo to downtown to Fort Greene -sort of. It’s right by the housing projects, right? Is that cool? It’s a totally different sensation coming off the bridge with tall buildings there. It works. It is a bit funny though because it makes me think that I’m at some beach. I guess I’ll get used to it. Still wondering how changes in the housing market will impact new building. Fulton Mall in its current state is not long for this world. I give it 5 years, if the economy cooperates. Can’t you just see it- Urban Outfitters, GAP, H&M, etc…
I don’t think the GMAP is correct.
