Development Watch: 80 Dekalb Avenue
Given that demolition was completed some time back in July, it’s not going out on a limb to say that things aren’t exactly flying along at Forest City Ratner’s 36-story, 369-unit project at the corner of Dekalb and Rockwell Place.

Given that demolition was completed some time back in July, it’s not going out on a limb to say that things aren’t exactly flying along at Forest City Ratner’s 36-story, 369-unit project at the corner of Dekalb and Rockwell Place.

Yeah, that and the hideous monolith kitty-corner on a block of Flatbush that houses the Chase bank. They’re both 70s brutalism monstrosities.
Mr. B — any info on who’s in those places? I think one houses Verizon…
Why don’t they get rid of that ugly black bldg shown background in the corner of Dekalb/Flatbush where the Applebee and the subway station is. Ratner should destroy and develop that and another one across instead.
I’m not a big fan of Ratner or Atlantic Yards but I am excited about this building.
