Bring a slice of 57th Street to Brooklyn. Stern is the man to do it, he thinks big and this could be it.

Yes, especially considering that small footprint. Adding 285,000 sf (more than the steinway addition itself) would send this one well above the current proposed height. And as we've seen with other towers after initial filings (111 W. 57th, 125 Greenwich, etc.), we could eventually see a larger tower here.



(illustrative purposes only)



I'm also curious as to where Extell stands, as the planned CityPoint phase 3 tower is also a neighbor.
