New visuals have been released for The Alloy Block, a mixed-use development in construction at 80 Flatbush Avenue and 100 Flatbush Avenue on the border of Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill. Construction began on the first tower and the project’s schools in July.
The latest design for the 147-meter-tall (482-foot-tall) 100 Flatbush Avenue shows a reflective glass curtain wall and tight assembly of mullions, culminating with a flat roof parapet. The 44-story building will be the city’s first all-electric tower.
100 Flatbush will deliver 440 rentable apartments and 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail with 350 feet of frontage facing Flatbush Avenue during phase 1 one the project. Phase two will include 80 Flatbush Avenue, a 256-meter-tall (840-foot-tall residential), office, and retail tower.
The project is being developed in conjunction with the New York City Educational Construction Fund and will feature New York City’s first two passive house schools, the Khalil Gibran International Academy high school and a 500-seat elementary school.
The Alloy Block master plan also includes office space for 1,000 people, auditoriums, and cultural institutions. A total of 850 homes will be built when both phases are complete, including 200 permanently affordable units.
Project completion is expected in 2024.
