Construction is rising on 19 Rockwell Place, 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. The project is located on an interior lot between Fulton Street and Dekalb Avenue.
Recent photographs show the bottom levels of the reinforced concrete superstructure taking shape above the podium. The building’s most noteworthy architectural feature, its array of angled balconies, is already apparent on the western elevation. Construction should rise at a steady pace given the repetitive stack of floor plates and limited number of setbacks.

Renderings show the angled balconies in a staggered layout across almost the entire western face, protruding from a façade composed of folded aluminum paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The northern edge of the upper half of this elevation is shown enclosed in uninterrupted glass that continues around the corner, adding variety to the design. The nighttime render previews the eye-catching effect the geometric paneling and jagged array of balconies will have when illuminated by spotlights.
