Brooklyn’s Flatbush gets a luxe new neighbor

A brand-new 12-story building in Flatbush, CIRRUS at 340 Lenox Road, just scored a $16.47 million refinancing deal—proof that Brooklyn’s rental market is still red-hot. Every one of its 46 studio and one-bedroom apartments is already leased, and residents are enjoying perks like in-unit laundry, a fitness studio, a coworking lounge, and a landscaped roof terrace. With easy access to the 2, 5, B, and Q trains, this spot is turning heads for both renters and investors. What do you think—are these kinds of developments good for the neighborhood, or do they change the local vibe too much? #RealEstate #BrooklynLiving #Flatbush
