At number 24 on our countdown of the tallest buildings under construction in New York is Hanover House, a 463-foot-tall residential tower at 17 Hanover Place in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed by Lonicera Partners, the 34-story structure spans 295,000 square feet and yields 314 rental apartments in one- to two-bedroom layouts, with 95 reserved for affordable housing, as well as 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Rabina is the co-developer of the property, which was formerly addressed as 23 Hanover Place and is located at the corner of Livingston Street and Hanover Place.
The construction hoist was dismantled from the rear northern elevation since our last update nearly one year ago, when work had largely finished up on the tower’s exterior of red metal paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows. Crews are still in the process of laying the glazed red brick façade of the double-height first story, which features a set of tall arched windows around the main entrance and retail frontage on the southern and western elevations. The sidewalk shed remains standing, but will likely be dismantled in the coming months as work concludes on the podium.

Residential amenities at Hanover House include a fitness center, lounges, a media room, party room, business center, and a dog park. The upper floors will house a penthouse lounge and dining room with adjacent terrace featuring a grilling station and outdoor dining.
The property is located near a number of subway lines including the B, Q, and R trains at the DeKalb Avenue station to the north; the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains at the Nevins Street station to the east; and the A, C, and G trains at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station to the west.
The project is being built with the help of $134 million in construction financing from Santander and City National Bank, arranged by Cushman & Wakefield.
Hanover House has an anticipated completion date of winter 2024 noted on site.

As much as I like the red, it’s the glazed brick that makes me happiest. Beautiful. Glazed brick is easily one of my favorite building materials. I wish it was used much more often… Probably quite expensive unfortunately.
Me too!! It’s such a nice feature of the project and well executed
Love the arches of the base..Bravo!
Sweet lampshade!
The projecting metal frames are a bit too thin and it’s a shame the beautiful glazed brick arches are framed with metal rather than returning to the window frames. But it’s a very good design all in all.
I’d have to agree. If the tower was clad in Cor-ten that would have made more sense. The two would complement perfectly.
I like the arches, but am struggling to understand how they relate to anything else in the project in any way.

Cheers!
Interesting how the striped mural on the Livingston Street building, which initially created so much consternation, has now been reduced to an alleyway sliver. Now rather than inducing Grand Mal Seizures, it adds a little spice to the background. Maybe Gene Kaufman is a genius after all.
This is spectacular architecture. One of the best new buildings I have ever seen. A Grade of A+ is warranted.
One of the best-looking buildings in the area. Good job
Welcoming the Christmas festival with this building from the color, but the arch might be a bit big for a coffee cafe: Thanks to Michael Young.
We saw what happened to the white-glazed porous brick of the 1950s. Similar to Roach Motels, water would check in, but not check out. With freezing, the surface of the brick would pop off. Hopefully, these bricks are fully vitrified and will not have that problem.
As someone who lives in a building that had to be completely reclad, I had the same reaction. Still, it’s a small, effective decorative element, and I think those who walk past the building on a regular basis will appreciate the gesture.
