"Around the corner is ...11 Hoyt, a pale, cast-concrete spire from Tishman Speyer with 481 apartments. 116 studios and one-bedrooms are currently priced at $1 million or less, said Erik Rose, a Tishman managing director, although prices could increase soon. Many of those units have unusual bumped-out windows that offer a ledge on which to sit. The apartments also have lava-stone counters and Bosch appliances. 'We wanted to bring high design to Brooklyn,' Mr. Rose said. The building also has 55,000 square feet of amenities, including an indoor pool, a squash court, music rehearsal rooms, a test kitchen and an elevated park of more than a half acre.
“With a growing portfolio of innovative projects that thoughtfully meld architecture and the environment, Jeanne Gang is quite literally building a better world.”
“The Downtown Brooklyn skyline has been redefined by the cluster of high-rises that has sprouted in recent years. And while 11 Hoyt ... will certainly be tall ... its design will help it stand out from the crowd.”
"Architecture in New York was once a boys club. Fortunately, women are now impacting the city’s skyline like never before."
