So excited to finally see some progress. This for me is the most anticipated building in NYC.

This tower will have a significant impact the Brooklyn skyline. View from Williamsburg to downtown.

^ That alone looks like the heart of the great metropolis. If you throw in the Domino towers, it would be even better.

A tower worthy of a very urban, and dense borough.



I just thought this was cool.

i walked by again yesterday and they are working away.

they were digging out the foundation and driving the caisson pilings. they were both dropping the weight and drilling to do that.

all the machinery was moved around from a few days ago, that was what i noticed the most, so that is good news.

its starting to look like they need more retaining walls and shoring for the foundation as it kind of looks worrisome, but not sure all they have done as the pit view is partly obstructed on all sides.

oh and it's not a very big crew like you see on some sites, but they are certainly active.

It appears the slow progress is due to funding.

I wouldn't say it was directly responsible. Some of these residential towers, the big ones, usually don't get funding until after they're already rising, some even almost topped out. But I there were some other issues involved here, as well as the nature of where and what they're building. You can think of it in terms of Steinway, but once that one got rising, it rose quickly. There are going to be condos at the top of this building, higher than anything currently in Brooklyn. I haven't seen anything as far as pricing, or when they expect those to hit the market there.

Brooklyn’s tallest tower may soon rise thanks to massive Silverstein loan
Silverstein Capital to lend $240M on JDS’ 9 DeKalb



By Konrad Putzier, David Jeans and Rich Bockmann
November 15, 2018


Quote:
Michael Stern’s JDS Development is in advanced talks to secure a $240 million mezzanine loan from Silverstein Capital Partners for its planned Brooklyn mixed-use tower 9 DeKalb Avenue, sources told The Real Deal.

The loan is part of a $650 million financing package that will likely also include a $400 million senior mortgage from another lender, sources said. It will also mark the first major loan issued by Silverstein Capital, developer Silverstein Companies’ new commercial debt business.

This makes no sense, as A. Progress hasn't been slow (as with 111 W.57 the initial work was with the existing bldg), B. The project is already funded (see linked article) and C. Funding for NYC towers usually doesn't conclude until well after construction is underway.

This building is actually unusual for receiving funding so early in the construction process.

Interesting clip, about 28 minutes in...interesting details on the building. He also says it will be 1180 ft tall...

Wow! I loved that video. And the swimming pool on the roof of the bank around the cupola!

Damn I wish I had some serious money to live here.

That is one of the nice elements, plus you'll be looking up at the tower. I wonder if that pool will be accessible to the residents of the "affordable" units, which this tower will have a lot of.

If true, that would be fantastic. A near-1,200 ft. building in downtown BK would completely change the skyline.

Yeah, I don't know what he meant by that, but he clearly said it (at 32:50). Maybe it's the height with the crown, though from that video the crown looks a little boxy. Who knows. We'll just assume 1,066 ft until we get confirmation of something different. Site elevation is 43 ft, so that wouldn't be it.

That rendering that he uses from this angle is different though.
