Forte,
230 Ashland Place

Overview of Forte at 230 Ashland Place

Forte is a 28 story triangular tower at 230 Ashland Place, designed by FXFowle Architects and developed by The Clarett Group, the same team behind 11 West 29th Street in Manhattan. Completed in 2009, the building contains 108 condominium apartments and has been dubbed Brooklyn's Flatiron Building due to its distinctive triangular shape when viewed from the south. The architecture features a streamlined Art Deco revival aesthetic, with a façade that evokes the former McGraw-Hill Building at 320 West 42nd Street. The building was turned over to its lender in early 2010, prices were reduced, and it subsequently sold out.

Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows and varied, expansive layouts, with units at the south end of the building offering particularly dramatic living spaces nearly surrounded by glass. The signature C line apartments boast massive triangular living and dining rooms at the building's prow with wraparound windows and 10'6" ceilings. Common features include hardwood floors, open kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, in-unit washer/dryers, and generous closet space. Bathrooms are appointed with slate floors, Zuma tubs, and Sycamore vanities. With only four residences per floor, the building offers a sense of privacy uncommon in larger developments.

The building provides 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, and a landscaped entry plaza with distinctive two lamp light stanchions. The furnished rooftop terrace features community herb gardens and 360 degree panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, sunrises, and sunsets. The building offered a 421A tax abatement through 2023.

Forte is located in Fort Greene's BAM Cultural District, steps from the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Fort Greene Park. The location provides exceptional transit access, with Atlantic Terminal just blocks away offering 11 subway lines and the LIRR. The neighborhood includes Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Barclays Center, and City Point shopping and dining complex, positioning residents at the crossroads of one of Brooklyn's most dynamic cultural and residential areas.
