Avalon Ft. Green will surpass the height of Toren (ugly wins this race).
  The monster...

Gene Kaufmann... cough.. cough... hack... hack...
His first Brooklyn baby nearing completion. I reluctantly admit that he's designed worse buildings than this. I'm not sure if I should find some sort of satisfaction in this or not. It's like trying to figure out if whether you should be thankful you've been kicked in the stomach out of appreciation for the fact that they missed your balls.  The ugly step-sister rises, soon to become a siamese twin...  I saw it and automatically thought of a wound...

I guess the good news is that the people working on that project still have jobs!

DOB filings have Toren at 399 ft (37 stories) and Avalon at 393 ft (41 stories). The difference is negligible. The similarity is because this area is limited to 400 ft by some misguided zoning.

Though unlikely construction will start soon, there's a permit out for that site that calls for a 44 story 488' rental tower designed by Ismael Leyva.
This rendering is on Dermot's website. Doesn't look promising at all.  http://www.dermotcompany.com Especially when the previous developer proposed this slender 50 story 619 foot tower before them.

Also, the site is very strangely shaped, so there are a lot of ways they can do a good or bad job filling it that might not be visible from a single partial rendering.

Wandered about today. Not much of a change from last week.
By the time the Atlantic Terminal for the LIRR is complete, trains will be an obsolete mode of transportation.  The Great Wall of Avalon continues to rise as Fort Greene gets walled off from Downtown Brooklyn.  The Development on Tillary Street is moving forward without interruption.    Although, I couldn't imagine living at the entrance to the BQE and across the street from a police station where the cops (who don't live inthe neighborhood) have no qualms about parking on the median of Tillary Street, in left hand turn lanes, on sidewalks, and in front of parking hydrants.
