Changing skyline around Atlantic Terminal, as 100 Flatbush (part of 80 Flatbush) rises; a nudge for/warning against Site 5 ambitions
The context around Downtown Brooklyn/Atlantic Terminal keeps changing--and that's both a nudge for development at Site 5 of Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park and a warning against the ambitions previously expressed, as explained below.
As shown in the photos below, the first of two towers in the project originally called 80 Flatbush and now called The Alloy Block, is rising at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and State Street, with the northern boundary of the overall parcel Schermerhorn Street and the western boundary Third Avenue.
As noted by NY YIMBY, the building currently under construction is 44-story, 482-foot-tall 100 Flatbush Avenue.
It will have 441 apartments, with 45 affordable housing--10% of the total, or 25% of the 184 apartments that were added as a substitute for the 100,000 square feet of office space originally planned. I reported on the swap for Bklyner in May 2021.
Note: you can't fit 184 apartments into 100,000 square feet unless they're small, given that the average would be 543 square feet.
