111 Lawrence Rising — Downtown Brooklyn’s Tallest Building is Now Residential
In a symbolic transition for Downtown Brooklyn, the tallest building in the neighborhood is now a residential building. 111 Lawrence, under construction by the Clarett Group, is just one of several residential buildings under construction or in the planning stages in the area. While construction appears halted currently due to stop work orders, the tower will upon completion be the tallest in Brooklyn, surpassing the Williamsburgh Bank Building.
Below is a great view of some of the other buildings going up downtown, viewed from the east. From left to right these are Toren, Avalon Fort Greene, 111 Lawrence, and Oro:
