Rendering Reveal: JDS's Record-Setting Supertall in Brooklyn

There’s a rendering out for JDS Development’s skyline-altering residential tower at 340 Flatbush Ave Ext in Downtown Brooklyn. It’ll be the first building in NYC outside of Manhattan to reach supertall status (1,000 feet or taller).

That building’s 24:1 height-to-width ratio will break a world record when it’s built. The design for the Brooklyn project calls for a slender tower too, but only about half as narrow relative to its width.
