New Details For 73-Story Mixed-Use Supertall At 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension, Downtown Brooklyn

Last month, YIMBY reported on applications for JDS Development and Chetrit Group’s planned 73-story, 1,066-foot-tall residential tower at 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension, in Downtown Brooklyn, and now the New York Times has new details on the project, as well as an updated rendering.
