About 11 Hoyt
11 Hoyt is a very tall building, reaching about 620 feet (189 meters) into the sky. It was designed to be a place where people can live. The building's unique look was created by the architects at Studio Gang. Another company, Hill West Architects, also helped with the building's design.
Design and Look
The way 11 Hoyt looks is quite interesting. Its design has a wavy or rippled shape on the outside. Some people think it looks a bit like another famous building in New York City called 8 Spruce Street, which was designed by a well-known architect named Frank Gehry. This special design makes 11 Hoyt stand out in the Brooklyn skyline.
Building Homes
The homes inside 11 Hoyt are called condominiums. These are individual apartments that people can purchase, rather than rent. Sales for these homes started in September 2018. A big bank called JPMorgan Chase helped to provide the money needed to build this large project.
Construction Progress
The construction of 11 Hoyt moved along quickly. The building reached its full height, a stage known as "topped out," in June 2019. This means the main structure of the building was completed. The building was expected to be fully finished and ready for people to move in around 2020.
Part of a Bigger Plan
11 Hoyt is not just a single building; it's part of a larger plan by Tishman Speyer. This plan involves making big changes to the area where a former Macy's department store used to be in Brooklyn. The goal is to create new spaces for living and other activities in the neighborhood.
