Tower Rising at 525 Clinton Avenue
This one really snuck up on us. Granted, we don’t walk down this block of Clinton between Atlantic and Fulton every day, but it is in our backyard.

This one really snuck up on us. Granted, we don’t walk down this block of Clinton between Atlantic and Fulton every day, but it is in our backyard. One day recently, we noticed the building poking its head over the shorter structures that surround it. Some others have taken notice too. Set Speed notes that, “from Vanderbilt, this building strikes an imposing stance.” The person who emailed us the photo simply said, “Yikes!” Set Speed refers to the building as the Clinton Court condos. Anyone know anything else about it?

I’m likin’ it. Better than the GreeneHouse building imo.
geez, what are y’all belly-achin’ about. Building looks fantastic to me. What was there before? Maybe a parking garage, a gas station or a vacant, litter strewn lot.
C’mon people, you’ve got to allow for some new development to happen. Brooklyn has to mature and grow up at some point in time.
Manhattan has the largest concentration of sky-scrapers in the country but I don’t see it affecting the lifestyle or property values of Grammercy Park, Sutton Place, Murray Hill, etc. I don’t recall anyone living in those places complaining about noise, shadow or congestion.
Live and let live. Quit bitchin. Enough already.
An artist’s depiction of the completed project is available for viewing at the website of the project’s engineer.

So much for context…
A jerk is still a jerk, whether on my land or their own.
Pillage? They own the land, you don’t.
Mister 9:09 sure has more time on his hands than the building’s opposers. Our city has done nothing to try to preserve character in Brooklyn, which is a real shame. Rather than using innovative strategies to boost tax revenues, the city instead cuts services and encourages developers to pillage.
In addition the examiner that approved there job was only approving sidewalk repairs two months ago. Hello Commissioner Mossad.

Do not be a shill for the developer. A serious Zoning mistake has been made that will have to be fixed.
The base is not at an angle, just the tower on top. I actually like it (obviously much depends on the surface treatment). It is quite an exclamation point as seen from Putnam Avenue. Perhaps since I live on a less architecturally noble block I am in favor of some imaginative development. Still too many vacant lots and warehoused brownstones over here.
