Hills & Gardens: New Structure Looms on Court
By Trudy Whitman
It used to be Carroll Gardens’ biggest hole; now it is the area’s largest conversation piece. When it comes to size, it’s one thing to read articles and study renderings reproduced in newspapers and on blogs; it’s another to watch the steel skeleton for 340 Court Street arise.
Vincent Joseph, a member of the Union-Sackett Block Association, called the project “much too big” in an email exchange with this newspaper, and one that “will never be in context on Court Street.” Joseph added that it is his belief that “City Planning really let the community down with the 70-ft. [height] limit.”
