Construction is on the verge of topping out on 98 Dekalb Avenue, a 610-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Rockrose Development, the 49-story structure will span 418,092 square feet and yield 609 residential units and 3,775 square feet of commercial space. The property is alternately addressed as 180 Ashland Place and located at the corner of Dekalb Avenue and Ashland Place.
Nearly all of the reinforced concrete superstructure has been built since our last update in December, when only the podium and first few tower levels had been formed. Crews are now starting work on the mechanical bulkhead while façade installation follows closely behind. The exterior of floor-to-ceiling glass and horizontal metal bands has risen above the midsection of skyscraper and should finish enclosing the remainder of the structure this summer. The narrow eastern and western elevations are left blank, and it remains to be seen what their final treatment will be.

Renderings have yet to be released for the project. The only preview is the below massing diagram that shows the tower rising uninterrupted to its parapet and the mechanical bulkhead on the northern end of the rectangular floor plate.

The nearest subways from the property are the B, Q, and R trains at the Dekalb Avenue station and the G train at the Fulton Street station.
98 Dekalb Avenue’s anticipated completion date is scheduled for the fall of 2025, as noted on site.

Zero effort. I guess that’s why they hire SLCE.
I need its blank and find out the structure was construction, endure on the state when it completes: Thanks.
Umm. Snore.
Hurray for the holdouts!
What a very dull pile of windows.
More unaffordable apartments on the way. When is this going to stop?
What a sad project for such a prominent tall site. Could they have found a cheaper “off the shelf” curtainwall system. Shame!
