Reveal for One Willoughby Square, Downtown Brooklyn Office Tower

UPDATEAccording to the developer, JEMB Realty, the below represents the latest iteration of the design of 420 Albee Square when it was with KPF Architects. KPF is no longer the architect on record and the developer will be introducing a new architect and concept soon.
