The line of residential towers envisioned for Flatbush Avenue just off the Manhattan Bridge is materializing before our very eyes.   Oro I is fully decked out, and the Toren Condos at 150 Myrtle Ave. are rising to their 38 stories quickly.  Also, below, the first glimpse of Toren’s cladding peeks through–looks nice at this early stage from the shot below from the WiredNY forums. Full rendering of Toren here.

The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership has prepared a cool little animation of how Flatbush is changing – this is one of those planning visions which is actually happening, refreshing.  Check it out here.
