Construction is rising on 134 Vanderbilt Avenue, an eight-story mixed-use building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by executive architect Kane AUD and design architect SO-IL and developed by Tankhouse, the 85-foot-tall structure will span 89,847 square feet and yield 26 condominiums with an average scope of 1,269 square feet, as well as 3,159 square feet of commercial space, two cellar levels, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and 18 enclosed parking spaces. KSK Construction Group, LLC is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Vanderbilt and Myrtle Avenues.
Recent photographs show the reinforced concrete superstructure standing two stories high on the formerly vacant lot. Rebar protrudes at the locations of the forthcoming columns for the third story, and a network of metal shoring and wooden formwork is supporting the completed levels as they settle.

I want to see how this turns out, but the redesign is a definite improvement.
Thank god it’s not that sterile stack of glass boxes. Wonder if it’ll be pink granite blocks…

I don’t know about anybody else but that’s the exact shade of my spaghetti vomit.
Looks like a miniaturized Barbie version of Jeanne Gang’s 11 Hoyt Street
