Dean Street near 6th Avenue
Prospect Heights
Brooklyn, New York

499 Dean Street has a bit of a past.

If Atlantic Yards is built as currently planned, a high rise tower would replace the 3 small homes on the left and no sky would be visible in this photo. The high rise, currently called "Building 15", would be 272 feet tall, roughly 5 times as tall as 499 Dean Street.
