SHoP Architects Designing Brooklyn's Newest, Tallest Tower

SHoP Architects Designing Brooklyn's Newest, Tallest Tower

SHoP Architects has racked up another major project in Brooklyn. The firm behind the Barclays Center and the Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment, is designing Brooklyn’s newest, tallest tower. NY YIMBY spotted building permits for 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn, where the firm’s 775-foot-tall, 495-unit building will rise.

SHoP’s high-rise will top Brooklyn’s current tallest tower—388 Bridge Street—by about 200 feet, but its reign at the top could be brief. In June, the New York Times reported that enough air rights could be picked up on the same block as the SHoP tower—at the site of Junior’s Cheesecake—to build a 1,000-foot-tall tower.

There are no renderings for SHoP’s project just yet, but it will likely be a major improvement for Downtown Brooklyn’s skyline, which is quickly filling-up with generic glass towers.
