The Parkline
The Parkline is a mixed-use building which includes an 80/20 mix of market-rate and affordable rental apartments and innovative common spaces. It is located in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Prospect Lefferts Gardens along Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
A twenty-three-story residential tower anchors the west end of the lot, providing its residents with expansive views of Prospect Park. This ‘park-side’ tower is set back more than 100 feet from Flatbush Ave, softening its presence on the street. A landscaped mews provides pedestrian access to the school and residential tower, as well as vehicular access to a new parking lot behind; while also doubling as storm water management for a portion of the site. ©David Sundberg/ESTO

The unique massing of the building reacts to contrasting contextual scales bounding the space. The low, eastern segment of the building continues the Flatbush Avenue streetscape with a three-story frontage and contextual fenestration. This ‘city-side’ portion of the building houses a school, two retail spaces, and residential amenities.
