A tower for East Flatbush, 1580 Nostrand

If I was 27 and my max budget was $1100, that leaves $250 a month for additional craft beer and burritos.

This plot of land hasn't moved in ages, but on a walk today I noticed that their were cars inside and worker surveying. Not much new on the website, but the design has changed: https://www.helloliving.com/1580-nostrand-ave

Glad they rethought their 20-some-story monstrosity.

I would honestly love it if this is what ended up there. Fully contextual height, not too ugly. I wonder if they reconsidered the height because they realized the views were less than stellar. haha. better to have a nice garden space interior courtyard instead

I think they reconsidered because this is a cheaper way to build and will produce more units!

It looks like pictures have been disabled here... but construction has commenced. Workers on site. Over 20 trucks were lined up this morning to haul away debris. Lumber is stacked and a hole is being dug.
