BROOKLYN WEEKLY, DEC. 15, 2019
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
This development’s all out of
gas!
A Dumbo-based development
firm unveiled designs for an allelectric
high-rise to be included in
Boerum Hill’s 80 Flatbush megaproject,
bringing good clean living
and hundreds of luxury apartments
to the borough, according to
one builder.
“As developers, we should be doing
everything we can to plan for
the future,” said Jared Della Valle,
chief executive officer at Alloy Development.
“In the same way that
we aren’t running copper phone
lines to each apartment anymore,
we don’t think running gas lines
makes sense either.”
The building at the corner of
State Street will be just a few feet
shy of the nearby Williamsburg
Savings Bank tower in height, and
is the shorter of two planned towers
included in the overall 80 Flatbush
development, which also encompasses
three existing buildings due
for substantial renovations.
The upcoming tower will house
256 apartments featuring all electric
systems and appliances, such
as kitchen equipment, water heaters,
and climate control, according
to the developer.
Tenants will share the building
with businesses occupying 100,000
square feet of office space and
30,000 square feet of retail space.
All work is expected to begin this
spring.
Alloy will also begin construction
this spring of two new public
schools located on State Street,
including a 350-seat elementary
school and the new Khalil Gibran
International Academy high school,
of which the latter is located in a
crumbling building on the 80 Flatbush
Ave. lot.
The schools are designed by
Manhattan-based firm Architecture
Research Office to conform
to the Passive House standard,
which requires buildings to be constructed
to maintain comfortable
temperatures year round while using
the least amount of energy possible.
This includes a highly-insulated
exterior, triple-pane windows, daylight
exposure for all classrooms
and energy efficient air-conditioners,
according to the developer.
Construction on the schools is
slated to wrap in 2023, according to
Alloy.
This marks the first of two
phases for the massive five-building
project, which the city approved
during a controversial land-use review
last year.
The full 80 Flatbush project is
due to be completed by 2026 and
will also include a 69-story, 840-
foot tall residential tower, a total of
nearly 900 units of housing, some
200 of which will be below-marketrate,
along with 200,000 square feet
of office space and 40,000 square
feet of retail.
100 Flatbush will be the city’s fi rst fully-electric residential tower.
