Development Watch: Avalon Myrtle in High Gear
Construction has really kicked into high gear over at the Avalon Bay project at 159 Myrtle Avenue. When we checked in on the 650-unit building at the end of November, four stories were up; now they’re up to 16 stories. That more than one story per week!

Wow, it’s rare that a Development Watch post makes it into double-digit territory!
fundamentals persevere
I have seen the Avalon on the Bowery and while it’s not for me, new residents to Downtown Brooklyn is great news.
Not only will their demand improve services, retail, etc, but also schools and everything else that goes along with having a thriving downtown core.
5,000 new residents is a good thing. Entitled or not.
The only thing I hope, is that there are some affordable housing components in some of these projects.
agreenance on the avalon buildings being nothing but college dorms for the trust funded entitled. have you seen the avalons on the LES and bowery??!
*rob*
“If they can rent these out, it will be a HUGE influx of new residents to this area, which will be really great in my opinion. That might be 1000 new people just from one building alone.”
Yeah, a huge influx of suckers. Anyone with half a brain knows Avalon are crooks and their buildings are college dorms for the entitled.
Sincerely,
Former Avalon Resident
As it appears that rentals are the new condos, there could be a HUGE influx of new people just in the three blocks along Flatbush from Tillary to Willougby. Along with Avalon “Ft. Greene” there the Lazarian Building on Tillary and Gold (400 Apartments = 600 + new residents?), City Point (900 Apartments = 1200 + new residents?) and 111 Lawrence (600 Apartments = 900 + new residents). To the extent these buildings fill up over time (along with Oro and Toren) there could be 5000 + new residents in that small radius in the next few years.
katiebk,
42 stories, 650 rental units.
If people who bought in Oro or Toren did so for the views, then they didn’t do their homework very well. This has been in the works for some time.
Speaking of Toren, I think it looks fantastic.
If they can rent these out, it will be a HUGE influx of new residents to this area, which will be really great in my opinion. That might be 1000 new people just from one building alone.
katiebk, I think it’s going to reach 42 stories…
Watch it with that crane!!
Take it easy.
