Work is complete on 22 Chapel Street, a 20-story residential building in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by CetraRuddy and developed by Delshah Capital and OTL Enterprises, the 211-foot-tall structure spans 133,181 square feet and yields 180 apartments, with 25 designated for affordable housing, as well as a 5,000-square-foot branch of START Treatment & Recovery Center, New York’s largest independent drug treatment agency. The building also contains 2,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Titanium Construction Services was the general contractor for the property, which is bound by Chapel Street to the north, Cathedral Place to the south, Flatbush Avenue Extension to the east, and Jay Street to the west.
Most of the exterior work was finished at the time of our last update in March with the exception of the ground floor. This has since concluded and the sidewalk scaffolding has been dismantled, revealing the full completed look of the structure. The dark-paneled façade on the first level contrasts nicely with the white envelope above.

The tower element reminds me of the BBC Broadcasting House. This is an unusual and fun design.
But again, enough with new parking spaces, Brooklyn!
I’m not saying I dislike it but it does kind of look like it’s got a nice shiny coat of waterproofing primer and is awaiting its facade.
Great that it has parking spaces built in. Guess what? Rich people (and also not so rich people)have cars. Many people have second homes they drive to weekly or family members outside of the city that they visit including older parents who they help out. If you want to keep cars off the streets then you need to build in parking garages. This prevents congestion. It prevents endless circling of streets looking for non existent parking spaces. New parking garages should have a minimum of 25% spaces with charging facilities to encourage electric cars.
yes nice building, but here we go again, 180 units and only 25 affordable, affordable for who, again nice well off neighborhoods with the lowest amount of affordable units, if any truly affordable units, smh
I like it. It looks like a building in a cartoon.
I like the crooked ‘front’, but the side with the random windows—more wacky fenestration!
