Renderings depict the building with floor-to-ceiling windows on the northern and southern elevations, with frontage along Church Avenue and Erasmus Street. Separating each story is a meandering frame of architecturally finished concrete that protrudes outward to create terrace space on alternating sides of each level. The east and west sides have simple concrete façades.
Units will average 756 square feet and come with outdoor spaces including outdoor planting beds. Amenities include a gym and lounge.

Great to see something bold and geometric, coupled with thoughtful rear yard space.
Yowza
This is four miles from the Brooklyn Bridge. Gentrification is far from dead.
to be fair, you could successfully put this anywhere in NYC at this point
It feels like INOA should add something new to their bag of tricks.
Flatbush ain’t so flat anymore, good!
It looks great at first glance. The slab dips aren’t for sunken living rooms, but just a design trick with the full width balcony shown having yet more sky trees. And lots of parking…
I live in this neighborhood and love the look of this building. A prime location for development.
this can’t be 2720 church ave because that address is a supermarket associated, and a different apartment development is being built right next to it, and that supermarket is still there and not being shut down
Words cannot express how wrong this is for the neighborhood. Look at the buildings around it. Make it a super-tall and put in Hudson Yards, or WTC.
Hideous. It looks like a building in Sim City.
This is too tall. I would forgive it if it were more dense, but 56 rental units is the same number as most 6-story buildings.
The 119 Erasmus st address also mentioned in the article seems to match the redered location better than the Church ave address. I bet they bought air rights from 2720 church to get this tall. Doesn’t look like it builds all the way to church.
