Flatbush Flatiron Gets Ready for Take-Off
Downtown Brooklyn took another step towards world domination last week with DOB’s approval of Isaac Hager’s plans for a 21-story triangular tower at the intersection of Flatbush Extension and Tillary Street. The 150,000-square-foot building will house 108 residential units and reach a height of 262 feet. It will also be one of the first and…
Downtown Brooklyn took another step towards world domination last week with DOB’s approval of Isaac Hager’s plans for a 21-story triangular tower at the intersection of Flatbush Extension and Tillary Street. The 150,000-square-foot building will house 108 residential units and reach a height of 262 feet. It will also be one of the first and most noticeable sights greeting drivers see as they reach the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge. Last time we posted this rendering it elicited rather strong reactions on both the postive and negative sides. We think it’ll be hard to tell whether it’s cool or cheesy until it’s actually built. Could go either way.

I think that with all the new developments aimed at higher end buyers the area will change very quickly.
cool.
Oh the smell of Mcdonald’s will certainly make me want to move here. Horrible location.
If it looks like the rendering I will like it, and agree with “houseowax”… very 1930’s Buck Rogers…. cool!
Do ya’ need a decoder ring to gain access?
i don’t mind the design but i do wonder whether buyers will really want to sit on those balconies overlooking the intersection
I like it. Looks like something from the Jetsons. I oftne use the word “cheesy”. Since you choose the id “stelsewhere”, perhaps you’d like “totally rad” vs “gag me with a spoon”. Either way, our slang tends to date us all…:-)
no more use of the word “cheesy.” and you wonder why people are getting on you so much on this site.
another vote for cool
I say cool. Very 1930’s Buck Rogers. Certainly better than the ‘oro’ which exemplifies craptacular.
