Demolition is complete at 570 Fulton Street, the site of a 45-story mixed-use tower in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Davis Companies, which took over for Slate Property Group in late 2020, the 200,000-square-foot structure will yield 123 apartments above 87,000 square feet of commercial space. The property is located on a plot bound by Fulton Street to the north, Flatbush Avenue to the west, and Rockwell Place to the east.
At the time of our last update in April, 2020, the site sat dormant with little demolition progress on the low-rise former occupant of the property. Since then, the edifice has been fully razed and the plot has been cleared of its remnants. The property currently sits quietly behind a wooden construction fence, and it is unclear when excavation will begin.

Approximately 35 residences are slated to become affordable housing units as part of a City Council rezoning agreement from late 2019. YIMBY last reported that 570 Fulton Street will top out at 550 feet tall, though the architectural height should now be slightly reduced. Updated renderings of the edifice have not been spotted yet, and it’s unclear how much the design has changed. Regardless, the tower will contribute to the vertical density of the growing cluster of skyscrapers in Brooklyn.

The closest subways 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 along the intersection of Nevins Street and Flatbush Avenue Extension.
A start and completion date for 570 Fulton Street have not yet been announced.

Details of new progress not much at all, but these photos should be enough to show its situation. And you describing purpose that it must be planned, I’ll have a look on beautiful skyscraper fully designed later on: Thanks to Michael Young.
two words: “Please simplify” Otherwise I seems like a nice tower
Really hideous. I wish downtown BK were being developed with even an ounce of aesthetic intent. Really ugly, complicated for no reason, cheaply built, darth vader towers.
Honestly I don’t hate it but I don’t see the hype in the “shifting boxes” trend either, but I’m glad at least downtown BK won’t look the same as other parts of the city. Only time will tell if these end up being good.
again, affordable housing, which is for middle and market rate incomers, high income good neighborhoods, low income bad neighborhoods, and this is how they fix the housing crisis
You’re so right. I say here we go again when I hear “affordable housing” disgusting down right disgusting. I’m a native New Yorker born and raised but it’s time to head south to real living where people smile and neighborhoods have character to distinguish its diversity. New York as I knew it growing up is no more. Instead it has become a rich man’s Playland. Thank you Joe for your comment it sparked this response in me. 👍🏽
The design is a little bit overstyled. Then again, it’s been a few years, so it’ll probably be redesigned.
This is a building that will just disappear in the thick. For that reason the design is fine.
Its over. This site was bought by a cheap developer and will now be just a brick apartment building about 20 floors from the rendering on the work site. What a waste. After the pandemic 180 flatbush, 625 fulton and this one where downsized, over 1 million sq feet of office space erased from these developments. Developers will reap the tax benefits and build small cheap ugly trash buildings with a few fake affordable units and no office space. Tax payers will not get any benefits for the zoning changes but will also subsidize the developers profits.
