Kent Avenue Rising: 111 Kent Avenue

This rendering of this building at 111 Kent Avenue has been making the rounds. For the two or three of you that haven't seen it on Brownstoner or Gothamist, we're posting it here on this Saturday in late August. The building, which is across the street from East River State Park, is from Michael Muroff Architect. It's a seven-story building with 57 units. Among other things it will have a pool "with a two-level exterior terrace and, natch, skyline views" in the words of Gothamist's Jill Priluck. There's also apparently an elevator that offers views to the outside and a storage fridge for Fresh Direct deliveries. The architect's website describes the building as follows:

A new building with waterfront views will take advantage of its site by providing terraces and angled bay windows. The interior view proves that skyline can be viewed from a floor.

Not sure what that last line means, but we'll venture to say that in the scheme of some of the awful stuff being tossed up all over Brooklyn these days, (including a very pedestrian structure on N. 7th Street near Roebling by the same firm), 111 Kent looks like it could be architecturally interesting--at least, if the rendering bears any resemblance to reality.
