BFC Partners develops Toren: 38-story tower to contain 240 units

Downtown's Fort Greene will soon be gaining the iconic presence of Toren, a 38-story, modern condominium of skyline-defining architecture. The 240-unit condo, located at 150 Myrtle Ave., will boast a unique silver-blue aluminum and glass façade. The homes, including studios, one-, two and three-bedroom apartments, will range in size from 442 to 1,967 s/f. The top eight floors of the tower will offer eight one-bedroom, ultra-luxurious penthouse units, and 24 duplex penthouse units of two and three bedrooms, featuring two-story living rooms and views from floor-to-ceiling windows. "Toren is going to be an exceptional investment for any conscientious buyers seeking great design and value," said Don Capoccia, a partner with Joe Ferrara and Brandon Baron at BFC Partners, Toren's developer. The building was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Toren, striving for silver LEED-certification, will be an eco-friendly building, fully equipped with its own cogeneration plant. This energy-efficient component will generate both heat and power for the entire building and cost less than traditional methods. Toren features a multi-level roof garden; an outdoor screening area; a 2,000 s/f fitness center; a library/lounge; a two-level attended parking garage; retail space and a 24-hour concierge.
