New renderings have been revealed for 245 Duffield Street, a 30-story residential tower in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by INOA Architecture and developed by FBL Development and Golden Stone Management, the 450-foot-tall structure will yield 158 units with an average scope of 602 square feet, along with 4,600 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The 8,330-square-foot property is located near the corner of Duffield and Fulton Streets.
The renderings preview a rectangular massing atop a multistory podium, culminating in a beveled, wedge-shaped crown covering an open-air roof deck. The distinctive design will feature a series of angular protruding volumes and streamlined balconies, giving it a futuristic appearance.

The podium will be framed with precast concrete, creating a contrast with the sleek glass enclosing the bulk of the building. The base will incorporate arches and rounded corners to match the curved edges of the tower’s features.

The site was formerly occupied by a two-story commercial structure. The developers purchased the property for $31 million in October 2025 in a transaction brokered by Sean R. Kelly, Stephen Vorvolakos, and Nicole Daniggelis of Ariel Property Advisors.

Residential amenities will include a lobby, golf simulator, swimming pool, sauna, fitness center, and a rooftop terrace.
The nearest subways from the ground-up development are the 2 and 3 trains at the Hoyt Street Station to the west; the B, Q, and R trains at the DeKalb Avenue station to the east; the A, C, and G trains at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station to the south; and the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains at the Nevins Street station to the southeast.
A construction timeline for 245 Duffield Street has yet to be announced.
