The Brooklyner (New York City, New York)

Height (architectural) 156.67 m
Floors (above ground) 51
Now the tallest building in the Borough of Brooklyn

This 51-story residential condominium tower beat out One Hanson Place by two feet to earn the title of tallest building in Brooklyn when it was completed in 2009.
Known as the Brooklyner, it was developed by The Clarett Group and designed by Randy Gerner of Gerner Kornick + Valcarel Architects.

The tower is a simple, thin slab form but unlike the great dark and mysterious black monoliths of Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, "2001," it actually tries to make some contextual gestures to its surroundings. A mid-block building, its long sides are not only not monochromatic but a colorful, complex pattern of brown and red paneling and windows.
