Theres a good interview with Mr.Stern, the developer that hints at many more towers coming for Brooklyn. He mentions this because in Manhattan, it can cost more to purchase a land plot then to build a tower. Brooklyn is the next frontier in development. Expect hundreds of more high rises in Queens and Brooklyn over the next couple of years.

He's also building Brooklyns new tallest for now.
