Foundation work is underway at 19 Rockwell Place, the site of a 27-story residential building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by Daniel Goldner Architects for Chesky Rosen under the 19 Rockwell Place LLC, the 304-foot-tall structure will yield 172 rental units in studio to two-bedroom layouts spread across 120,000 square feet. Elliot Lazarus from New York Developers & Management is overseeing construction and Stephanie Andrews from MNS is in charge of leasing for the project, which is situated between Fulton Street and Dekalb Avenue.
Renderings show a distinctive façade composed of folded aluminum panels and staggered trapezoid-shaped balconies, which will provide outdoor space for 90 percent of the units. Principal architect Daniel Goldner, senior architect Davis Iszard, project manager Michael Baltias, and project designer Emin Kahn are the key personnel driving the design and execution of 19 Rockwell Place.

Residents will have access to a range of amenities including terraces, a rooftop lounge with skyline views, and on-site parking.
The closest subways from the property are the B, Q, and R trains at the DeKalb Avenue station and the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains at the Nevins Street station.

This reminds me of something in my kitchen.
London has one, too! I say, you coined it, David of Flushing—the “NY Cheese Grater”! 🧀
We’re going to need more balconies…
This one is sandwiched between 625 Fulton and the 600 footer rising right behind it on the other side of the block at Ashland place, with two other towers going up half a bock away on DeKalb and Fulton respectively. Not to mention the Brook right across Flatbush. What an incredible increase in density within just a few blocks of Fort Greene/ Downtown Brooklyn. Love it.
This is Great! The project managers name is actually Michael BALTITAS, fyi.
