Superstructure has surpassed the two thirds mark at Hope Street Capital’s residential tower 550 Clinton in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects, the tower features a torqued massing that frames views of the nearby Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew’s belfry, a landmark built in 1891. The tower will be clad in large floor-to-ceiling windows and scalloped precast concrete panels, whose design was inspired by the church’s columns.
