Glass Tower To Overlook Prospect Park

Brooklyn developer Henry Herbst has acquired building permits to erect a 20-story residential tower on Prospect Park in the Prospect-Lefferts Garden neighborhood. The glass building, to be situated at 27–35 Lincoln Road near Ocean Avenue, will be one of the tallest structures to overlook the park. It will include about 80 units, a 17,000-square-foot private rooftop park, and a large retail space on the ground level. The architect, Tom Gilman of Gilman Architects, said it would have a modern design where the two sections of the building are rotated on top of each other. "There is going to be a lot of glass, which means amazing views of the park," Mr. Gilman said.
