Two different readers happened to send in these cool shots of the development activity along Myrtle Avenue between Flatbush and Ashland Place in the last few days. In the upper right of the top photo, BFC’s 37-story tower at 150 Myrtle Avenue is in the lead with five stories of steel under its belt. The race for second place is close. The 660-unit development from John Catsimatidis’ Apple Group (upper left) is winning, though it had a big head start over upstart Avalon Bay, which has been in demolition overdrive for the past month in preparation for erecting 650 rental apartments. Can’t wait to see what this view looks like a year from now! Below, the view from the southeast, with the Apple Group project in the foreground, BFC to the left and Avalon at top.

you must be of the opinion that if you say something enough it might actually come true someday?
sorry, but not going to happen here.
flat-lined. steam-rollered.
definitely not flat lining. just starting to pick up steam now.
AY ain;t humming, It’s flat-lining.
The foreground left building is projects, though — there are many more behind it that are not visible.
4:24, those are not projects, they are condos called University Towers. There are projects nearby though, but they would be in the lower left, out of view.
So, why steel? Don’t most 30-something-story residential buildings use concrete construction these days?
hummin along. just as AY is starting to do. all brooklyn, all the time.
Are those towers on the far upper left hand projects? Who would live there? Curious what the corner of Myrtle will look like in the future.
