All these “out of scale” concerns about new development in Brooklyn seem a bit overblown… but just take a look at the size of this thing! Can anyone Photoshop this into a photo of the Temple parking lot to see how it will look?
Quote from an article in The Real Deal:
“With his Lower Manhattan projects complete, Meier is turning to Brooklyn. One Prospect Park will be a 15-story glass tower with 119 condos, located along Plaza Street and Eastern Parkway facing Grand Army Plaza and overlooking Prospect Park. It’s scheduled to be completed in summer 2008.”
UPDATE! Thanks to pete_c for this Photoshop:
pete_c says: “w/o a better original, its kind of hard to get anything even remotely accurate, but based on floor sizes I’d think that the lower half will be at or higher than the line of brownstone cornices off to the northeast, along St John’s.”
“I like quig‘s better too! More true to the neighborhood spirit at least.”
…Oh yeah… pete is right. Of course, we can’t forget DH regular quig and his Gehry-esque reimagining of the Meier building:

should have been twice as tall. this is mediocre.
