Tallest Skyscraper In Brooklyn Reaches Peak With 93-Storeys, Opens In 2022(Pics) by Explorers(op): 12:29am On Nov 12, 2021

Brooklyn's first supertall skyscraper has now reached its peak height, with the firms behind it announcing the topping out of the 1,066ft- (324m) tall tower.

The skyscraper - called 'The Brooklyn Tower' - is located at 9 Dekalb Avenue and it's described as an 'imaginative new building' that is 'formed by interlocking hexagons and dramatic cascading setbacks in a facade of shimmering bronzes and deep blacks'.

The 93-storey behemoth, which has been under construction since 2018, will offer views across the borough of Brooklyn and beyond.

Approximately 550 residences will occupy the tower, 150 of which will be available for purchase and will start at an elevation of over 500ft (152m).

It's planned that prospective buyers will be able to purchase residences in the landmark building from early 2022, with the building anticipated to open for occupancy later in the year.

Pictured is the interior of the historic Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn, which informed the geometric design of the skyscraper.

The base of the building will host 100,000 square ft- (9,290 metres sq) worth of retail facilities.

This is beautiful. Engineering has really brought a lot of beautiful structures to life.
You get beautiful structures like this when you have morally dedicated workers and government. Unlike in Nigeria, that they'll provide substandard structures after embezzling good part of the money, yet they'll expect the building not to collapse.

Mind-blowing!
I'm only curious to see how they transported building materials all the way up.

If you obey the laws of physics and geography without cutting corners on quality of materials, you can build an Everest.

The Egyptian pyramids and ancient palaces have stood for hundreds of years and thousands for some. They have survived some of the most brutal forces of nature such as tsunami and flooding. They have also survived generations of mankind and we're the most devastating force of nature.

What man can not destroy does not exist
