Witkoff and Apollo have officially broken ground on The Brook, featuring luxury rentals and transformative retail space in Downtown Brooklyn. With architecture by Beyer Blinder Belle and interiors by Bonetti Kozerski, the approximately 600 foot-tall tower will have 591 rental apartments with 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, and nearly 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail space and 12,000 of cellar retail space in the popular Albee Square area of Downtown Brooklyn.
Attending the groundbreaking were executives from Witkoff, Apollo, Suffolk Construction, and Beyer Blinder Belle architects, as well as Regina Myer, President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
“The groundbreaking of The Brook is another milestone in the continued evolution of Downtown Brooklyn, bringing more high-end retail to the streetscape and new residences in this sought-after location,” said Scott Alper, President & Chief Investment Officer of Witkoff. “We are honored to spearhead this monumental development in Downtown Brooklyn.”

“The Brook is going to be a great addition to Downtown Brooklyn’s Flatbush Avenue - one of the grand entrances to the borough,” said Regina Myer, President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. “Downtown Brooklyn is becoming one of the best places to live, and 600 units right at the crossroads of the neighborhood will be transformative.”
The Brook and its retail spaces, including the prominent wraparound corner space at 555 Fulton Street, marketed by GoodSpaceNYC, will continue to add value to the neighborhood. The developers are working in partnership with the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and Brooklyn-based architecture and design firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), to support their vision plan and new roadmap to transform Downtown Brooklyn by reclaiming its streets for greater pedestrian use and creating attractive, accessible public spaces, raising the bar for retail tenants.
