Downtown Brooklyn is booming with new buildings and this new lavish development at 45 Hoyt Street makes for a great addition to the neighborhood with its industrial-inspired exterior and wide windows.

Downtown Brooklyn welcomed The Margo back in 2016, but the sleek structure still has luxury homes available.

Although the city is a shapeshifting landscape with equally elusive intangible and concrete trends, it’s still fun to forecast the future.

Downtown Brooklyn is having a serious renaissance, and along with cultural institutions like the Brooklyn Academy of Music, buzzworthy restaurants like Hill Country BBQ and Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, and boutique shopping, there is an influx of luxury residential buildings that are making this one of the city’s most sought-after places to call home.

John Catsimatidis, famously the owner of the NYC supermarket chain Gristedes, is developing a brand new construction rental in Downtown Brooklyn. Construction on 86 Fleet Place has actually started, with expectations to wrap up in 2016.

It’s no secret that we love Manhattan—it’s in our name. But as you may have guessed, we really like Brooklyn too! While neighborhoods like Dumbo, Williamsburg and Greenpoint have gained a lot of popularity over the past years as hip hotspots, the criminally underrated Downtown Brooklyn has a lot of offer.

ODA Architecture has issued a rendering for its 28-story building called 436 Albee Square in Downtown Brooklyn. At 310 feet tall, the place will have 150 units spread out across 120,000 square feet of residential space.
