Klitgord's Climax: 1,000 Vertical Feet

The 110 Livingston blog picked up on a rendering that surfaced on Wired NY over the holiday weekend of a stunningly tall addition to Klitgord Auditorium planned by City Tech, which owns the land, and Forest City Ratner, which is coming up with the dough for the project. As The Brooklyn Eagle reported several weeks ago, the plan is to build 600 apartments as well as 300,000 square feet of academic office space on the site. The folks at Wired NY count upwards of 65 stories and estimate that, with the spire, the building could top 1,000 feet. Yowza!

how much will be set aside for affordable housing?
much better looking than forte
FINALLY!!!!!
A true icon for the brooklyn skyline!
(and NOT jersey city HA)
all the other towers in downtown are so short and stout. definitely a welcome addition.
I like this building. To the people who dont want tall buildings, I have bad news.
There’s a housing shortage and NYC cant compete without population growth.
Um, 11:31, I’m betting most of those “mediocre college students” can spell “separate”.
waa waaa waaaaaaa
its too talllll
why cant everyone just live in a 4 story brownstone like me?!?!?!
Market forces will determine whether or not this building will get built. In terms of whether or not it fits with the “character of the neighborhood”, this is DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, not “brownstone Brooklyn”. All the people on this blog who are constantly crying and complaining about the new development in DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN need to take a step back…take a deep breath…and remember that DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN and “brownstone Brooklyn” are two completely different animals…one has absolutely no impact on the other…it’s analogous to people living on a brownstone block the west village complaining about the Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan…it makes no sense!
love it.
the nimbys are out in full force on here today.
nice
don’y know if, as a resident, i’d want to be in the same building as these mediocre college kids..so hopefully a very separet entrance/elevator banks, etc
