100 Flatbush Continues to Climb
A lot of big things are happening all at once right now at 100 Flatbush Avenue; a bustling site in Downtown Brooklyn where a sleek, 44-story tower project, is quickly taking shape.
For starters, the wedge-shaped superstructure is continuing to rise at a significant rate. Concrete contractor, RNC Industries, has been utilizing the slip-forming method to mold the slabs and support columns floor by floor. The team is working so efficiently thus far that the structure has nearly tripled in height since we last reported on the build, back in early October.
Down on the ground, a steady supply of quick-setting concrete has been arriving on-site to support the slip-forming operation many stories above. A constant delivery flow is necessary because the entire skeleton of a slip-formed building is essentially molded in one continuous, moving pour.
At the same time all of this is going on, the general contractor, Urban Atelier Group, is installing the windows and facade materials as the building continues to climb.
Developed and designed by , the tower is one of the 5-buildings that are set to make up a mixed-use development, known as "The Alloy Block". Dubbed internally as "The First Tower", the foot tall structure will share its base with a second, and significantly taller tower, although this will be constructed in a future phase.
Set to total square feet, The First Tower will contain apartments (including 45 affordable housing units) and square feet of ground-floor retail space. Tenant amenities are to include a fitness center, a co-working space, a rooftop pool, and 224 bicycle parking spaces. The tower has also been designed as NYC's first all-electric skyscraper, with a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040.
Construction is expected to take until mid-2024 for The First Tower, with the rest of the development estimated to finish sometime around 2027.
