80 DeKalb Avenue
Committed to sustainability, 80 DeKalb is one of the only rental buildings in Brooklyn targeting LEED certification and will be among the newest residential buildings in the borough.
Located on DeKalb Avenue between Hudson Avenue & Rockwell Place in Fort Greene, the building borders both the BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) Cultural District as well as Fort Greene’s noted Historic District.
The building’s unique architecture features an angled metal and glass facade and is accented by large terraced setbacks at the upper portion of the building. High ceiling and oversized windows give the tower a slender and luminous quality, and will provide residences with abundant light and open panoramic views of downtown Brooklyn, the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor and historic brownstone Brooklyn.
Designed by renowned architect Costas Kondylis, 80 DeKalb is the first residential tower built by Forest City Ratner Companies (a Brooklyn based development company).
80 DeKalb is convenient to transportation near the B, M, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Trains all within a 5 block radius.
