144 Vanderbilt sits at the edge of Fort Greene on a busy Myrtle Avenue corner, the only large development site in the area. It stitches two scales together: a tower stepping down from the commercial corridor to townhouses that meet the Vanderbilt brownstones, organized as 26 homes across 21 distinct layouts, many of them split-level and duplex. The building gives back an unusual share of its space, roughly one foot of communal area for every four it sells, in gardens and courtyards open to all residents.
