Brooklyn 32-Story High-Rise Tower
Uncovering Opportunity in Brooklyn
Along Wythe Avenue, a development of multi-story buildings sits adjacent to Roberto Clemente Park, only a block away from the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the East River. Building on past project successes, our client once again sought EDG to identify potential development opportunities on this extensive site.
Comprehensive Analysis & Planning
Starting with a comprehensive property analysis, our development experts compiled a report of open space, easements, floor area, building heights (height factor zoning), compliance, and HPD requirements. Using this data, we explored over a dozen configurations of single and multiple buildings, presenting to the client the unique considerations of four viable options. Our New York City zoning and code expertise, including Large Scale General Developments governed by City Planning, paired with our experience in tower design, allowed us to see options no one else anticipated.
A High-Rise Overlooking East River
The selected option avoided easements and setbacks, with optimal depth and room layouts, and is mindful of existing and new buildings views. The 32-story tower will face towards the East River – becoming a major presence in the Brooklyn skyline. EDG is currently performing schematic design for the new 200,000 sq. ft. high-rise. A unique front to Robert Clemente Park, the new residential tower actively participates the next phase of the developing Brooklyn Navy Yard neighborhood.
