Toren Gets FHA Status, Tenants and a New Pool!
Big news in Downtown Brooklyn! Toren, the 240-unit, SOM-designed tower at Flatbush and Myrtle Avenues, just received approvals from both FHA and Fannie Mae, which means that it’ll be much easier for first-time buyers to step up to the plate.

Big news in Downtown Brooklyn! Toren, the 240-unit, SOM-designed tower at Flatbush and Myrtle Avenues, just received approvals from both FHA and Fannie Mae, which means that it’ll be much easier for first-time buyers to step up to the plate. As for folks who’ve already bought in the 38-story building (it’s currently 50% sold), the TCO was recently issued, making it possible for the first wave of buyers to start moving in. Most exciting of all, these early inhabitants will be able to take a dip in the just-completed pool. We’ve got the first photo of the never-before-seen pool below.

it’s mario Kart, not cart :-/
i still have the wheel 🙁 my ex has the game mario kart (ill never get it back), and i sold my wii on craigslist last year 🙁 wii games mostly sucked anyway, other than mario kart
*rob*
You can come over and play anytime, Ty. 🙂
I wish I were home right now playing Mario Cart, in fact. SO hungover.
The studio layouts are horific. The one bedroom, which in reality is really 2 rooms, some layouts are better than others, not many though. The 2 bedrooms are better.
I have to ask though when these buildings are being designed, do you think the designer ever has in mind where the furniture will be placed??? because I have yet to figure out where a regular table with 4 chairs will go when there is the combination Living / Dining….
I would like a Wii with steering wheel for Mario Cart.
Rob-
There might be a grant for that. If it will distract you from writing inane comments on the internet, I might even help you write the proposal.
What is the source of this exclusive first-look “photo”?
Did somebody stage a perfectly lit haze in the room or is that a permanent feature?
I think what you’ve got here is a rendering.

I don’t mind my tax dollars going to help some folks buy into the neighborhood.
