Landmarks Preservation Commission greenlights thousand-foot Downtown Brooklyn skyscraper
Supertall tower shares a site with iconic Dime Savings Bank
Brace yourself, Brooklyn — a thousand-foot skyscraper is headed this way.
It will be 1,066 feet tall, to be precise — and will be built on a site shared by the iconic Dime Savings Bank, an individual city landmark at 9 DeKalb Ave. in Downtown Brooklyn.
On Tuesday, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted to approve a plan by Michael Stern’s JDS Development and the Chetrit Group to tear down one of the neo-Classical bank building’s annexes and partly remove another annex so they can build a 73-story tower.
