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!

its a city.
people build tall buildings
It’s too tall.period.
This IS the Manhattanization/Chicagoization of BK.
BK is BK, and the plans for all these sky scrapers is overkill.
AND I thought there was a credit crunch going on, who is continuing to fund these “luxury housing” projects.
Where is the person who always says “someday this war is gonna end”?
Oh Please, keep building! Higher, Higher and Higher! Read this dumbasses!

This clusterfuck will NEVER get build. Game over.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…….
I’ve noticed that citizen-led downzoning and landmarking efforts in Park Slope, Williamsburg and other places have met with (surprisingly) quick success. It’s so unfortunate that people in Bed-Stuy are not organized or politically savvy enough to take up this cause and save the hood before it’s too late. Better politicians and CB might help too.
The real bummer is the encroachment from Williamsburg into Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy. All the developers shut out of other nabes will be gunning for us next. I have 3 major vacant lots on my block and I am scared of what will go up there.
Obviously 1:46pm works for Corcoran, clearly…
The difference between Corcoran and other smaller agency is that Corcoran makes you sign an exclusive at a much Higher % then other agency, and most times they end up-co-broking with the smaller agency like Mary Kay, because she has the customers looking to buy in the area and Corcoran does not!!!
I happen to know that Mary Kay does co-broke. I was bidding on the Stratford Road house that Mary Kay has in PPS, that is currently “in Contract”, and I lost out on it and I was told by Mary Kay that this deal is a co-broke..
So I guess 1:46 was wrong.
Just a little side note on most deals whether it’s Corcoran, or any other agency when the deal is “in contract†or once it closes, we generally have no idea if it was a co-broke or not!!!
No agency post this:
“SOLD and YES WE HAD TO CO-BROKE”
I like it!
I don’t think it’s beautiful, bmini manhattanut I kind of love the idea of downtown brooklyn developing a gorgeous skyline – just fear that these giant towers won’t have decent retail space so it will become like 6th ave instead of a really functional dynamic downtown commercial area.
lovely and amazing.
I’m def. not always a fan of the glass skyscraper. Don’t like renzo piano’s ny times building. But this one works for me.
