New York’s ongoing proliferation of luxury rentals is expanding beyond established locales in Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, and Long Island City. Another key milestone was hit when move-ins began at PLG at 123 Linden Boulevard, the tallest and most luxurious rental in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The 320-foot, 27-story high-rise towers above the central Brooklyn neighborhood and offers panoramic views of the skyline and nearby Prospect Park from even the lower floors, while several floors of amenities compare favorably with the finest rental buildings anywhere in the city.

Tree-lined streets and pre-war residential stock characterize Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a quaint neighborhood situated southeast of Prospect Park. Most multi-unit apartment buildings are rentals, including both of PLG’s next-door neighbors - the quaint, Tudor-style 95 Linden Boulevard and the jazzy, Art Deco at 143 Linden Boulevard. PLG's design by Hill West Architects nods to the local environment with textural masonry on view from the park side, while a modern glass curtain wall is incorporated towards the street.

Current availabilities at PLG start at $2,081/month for studios, $2,492/month for one-bedrooms, $3,356/month for two-bedrooms, and $4,518/month for three-bedrooms. All prices are net effective, indicating as much as three months free rent on certain lease terms. Nevertheless, these figures still put PLG apartments well above the Prospect Lefferts Gardens median rent of $2,460/month (per CityRealty data). More listings can be found here.

Staggered balconies offer both pizzazz to the exterior design and personal outdoor space to many of the building’s units. With or without balconies, all units benefit from smart locks and keyless entries, in-unit washer/dryers, broad floor-to-ceiling windows, and hardwood floors. Residents have a choice of two color palettes of apartment finishes, both of which incorporate Caesarstone countertops and stainless steel kitchen appliances.

However, over 50,000 square feet of residential amenities truly sets PLG apart. The Club takes up much of the sprawling lower floors and offers spaces such as a fitness center, an indoor pool with a hot tub and steam rooms, a screening space, a party room, a two-level business center, and game room with a golf simulator. A sunlit lounge that overlooks a massive roof deck with trees, lawns, multiple seating areas, grilling stations, a basketball half-court, and an outdoor fitness center.

The youngest residents are not forgotten with an indoor playroom and outdoor fourth-floor playground. Likewise, the pet wash station is sure to come in handy after a canine workout on the spacious dog run. Another set of sundecks perches atop the tower at the 21st, 22nd, and 27th levels, offering more green space, dining areas, and an outdoor pool.

PLG is certainly the boldest new addition to the local skyline, but it is not the only one. The city’s persistent demand for new housing has led to a revival of the transit-rich neighborhood, where new apartment buildings of all income ranges join the established neighborhood. Earlier this summer, Caton Flats, a 14-story, mixed-use complex broke ground at 794 Flatbush Avenue two blocks to the west. The community-minded development would introduce new space for the Flatbush Caton Market, retail, new headquarters of The Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACCI), and 255 apartments, all of which will be affordable. One Sullivan Place, a 12-story rental, is scheduled to rise a few blocks further to the north, across from Prospect Park. We expect to hear more development news from this neighborhood with a storied past and a promising future.
