Demolition is complete at 275 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn, NY, to make way for a conjoined series of five 27-story, 293-ft-tall towers containing 350 residences, New York YIMBY reported earlier this month. Designed by J Fankl Architects and developed by Jacob Kohn of The Jay Group, each structure will contain 90 residences and two cellar levels. Kohn purchased six adjacent lots for the 39,000-ft2 assemblage at the corner of Flatbush Avenue Extension and Willoughby Street from Pearl Realty Management for US$75 million in a deal that also included air rights transferred from 147 Pearl Street nearby. A zoning diagram shows the towers forming a J-shaped massing and rising uniformly to a flat parapet capped with individual bulkheads and only one shallow setback. No renderings or timeline have been released, but the development is set to rise next to a 12-story residential building at 167 Willoughby Street.
