Construction is wrapping up on The Everly, a 49-story residential skyscraper at 180 Ashland Place in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Rockrose Development, the 610-foot-tall structure spans 418,092 square feet yields 609 residential units in studio to two-bedroom layouts. The project also includes 3,775 square feet of commercial space. The property is alternately addressed as 98 DeKalb Avenue and located at the corner of DeKalb Avenue and Ashland Place.
Exterior work has finished up since our last on-site update a little over 14 months ago, when crews were enclosing the final levels of the tower and the podium remained exposed. The hoist was since dismantled from the western elevation and the ensuing gap filled in. A sidewalk shed remains standing along the wide eastern profile facing Ashland Place, but should be taken down in the coming weeks.

Why lead this post with an outdated rendering instead of a photo of the real thing? Such a weird thing to do.
This by far the ugliest and cheapest looking of of the new towers. These buildings will be here for a long time. Developers must do more then buy the cheapest off the rack curtain walls and cover a box with it. Shame.
I prefer more affordability housing than amenities taken so many spaces.
“Affordable housing” will go to eastern Brooklyn and Queens and in the Bronx, not downtown Brooklyn.
Wow, they chose to completely strip down the exterior to basically brain-dead nothing. This may be the worst new apartment tower in Brooklyn. Sad
This significantly lowers SLCE’s batting average.
Booooo.
Greed.
Greed.
Everywhere a greed greed.
The developers ought to be REQUIRED to paint a mural on that nastyass blank wall.
Shame on them.
more outrageous high rents coming downtown Brooklyn, instead of truly affordable housing for all
Increasing housing supply leads to reduced rents. You should know this since you’re on a yimby page.
stop trolling jerk
I agree that the drab monolithic glass curtain wall is shameful, & offensively UGLY😢. The roof top will be nice for the residents, as well as the views that the residents will have too, but we all have to look as this monstrosity of an eye sore🤢🤮
This site was with the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area study area. I worked on its FEIS in the mid-1980s…progress is slow but inevitable. I think its handsome.
The best part is that “Emilio’s Shoe Repair” refused to sell his tiny store on the ground floor on the corner of DeKalb and Ashland Place. Bravo to Emilio and his sister, the seamstress, who have worked daily since 1983!
Nice! Great to see a pool too1
I rather like it!
I think it’s rather funny that the narrower north-facing side of the building (with the nearly uninterrupted views of the full Midtown Manhattan skyline) is largely that concrete curtain.
Concrete slabs hundreds of feet tall that won’t be covered up need to be accounted for…the city has a nonsense scaffolding beautification program when the focus needs to be erasing these PERMANANT stains. Rotating murals or something besides cheap canvas adverts fir the building itself.
