City Tech Tower was a supertall skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano, which was proposed to rise at Jay and Tillary Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City, but has since then been cancelled.[2]
The building would have stood 1,000 feet (305 m) tall and contain 65 floors for the New York City College of Technology and 600 units of housing.[1] The building, at a height of 1,000 feet (305 m), would have been the tallest out of a proposed complex of five towers.[3] The building would have been the first skyscraper in Brooklyn to rise more than 60 stories, since the tallest completed building in the district is only 42 stories tall.[4]
