Klitgord's Climax: 1,000 Vertical Feet

The 110 Livingston blog picked up on a rendering that surfaced on Wired NY over the holiday weekend of a stunningly tall addition to Klitgord Auditorium planned by City Tech, which owns the land, and Forest City Ratner, which is coming up with the dough for the project. As The Brooklyn Eagle reported several weeks ago, the plan is to build 600 apartments as well as 300,000 square feet of academic office space on the site. The folks at Wired NY count upwards of 65 stories and estimate that, with the spire, the building could top 1,000 feet. Yowza!

No worries. Soon you will be able to spot it in your rear view mirror.
I just can’t care anymore.
No, I don’t see a Great Depression anytime soon.
The depression stumped the spurt?
Was that like a jeopardy moment?
hey spurt, who was president after
Millard Fillmore?….you have ten seconds..
For better or for worse, the last Great Depression stumped the Brooklyn growth spurt and it’s about to happen again.
The 3:49 post is hillarious, adults only please.
“defenders of the tower”
That is a scream.
Roy: where are’st thou????
That spire adds a lot of feet to the building height. It kinda skews the average floor to ceiling height.
I will be moving downtown and I welcome proposals like this. This building is pretty good looking and will add to the area. The students get a better building. The locals get more people which mean more services and more retail, restaurants and shops. The city will get more tax money. This is really good for the whole city.
The busy-body NIMBYs need to get some perspective. This building will be built in Downtown Brooklyn, aka the Central Business District of the borough. An area that is meant for and is zoned for tall buildings. All this talk about limiting the height of new buildings is really ridiculous and very selfish. What would you rather have, one taller building or 5 shorter buildings taking up 5 times as much real land? Hell, lets only stick to ranch style one story buildings instead of the “too tawll” 4 & 5 story townhouses.
