Junior's Grows Up: 1,000-Foot-Tall Tower Could Rise at Site of Famous Brooklyn Eatery

Brooklyn’s newest, tallest tower could rise on the site of one of the borough’s—nay the the city’s—most famous restaurants: Junior’s. TheNew York Times reported that bidding on the Downtown Brooklyn site, which houses some of the world’s best cheesecake and notably hosted President Barack Obama on a recent trip, begins this week. Crunching the numbers, the newspaper found that developers could assemble enough air rights to build a 1,000-foot-tall tower on the lot. This part of Brooklyn has seen a surge in new towers in recent years, but, as of now, the tallest building—388 Bridge—tops out under 600 feet.
