It’s been more than a year since there was any sign that Avalon Bay still plans to build a second Downtown high-rise—a tower that, at 58 stories, would be the tallest in the borough, beating out the Brooklyner—but the trust recently bought a building on Willoughby Street, adding another parcel to the seven assembled for the development. Public records show Avalon purchased 100 Willoughby Street, on the corner of Duffield, for $22,989,341 from Downtown kingpin Al Laboz. At this point Avalon has spent nearly $100 million on parcels on the block bounded by Willoughby, Duffield, Bridge and Fulton. A very old rendering for the tower is shown above. The project has been in the works for at least three years.
