Facade installation is nearing completion at Front and York, a 21-story residential development by CIM Group and LIVWRK at 85 Jay Street. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects, the 1.2-million-square-feet project features an 8-story podium and a tower at the northeast and southwest corner of the massive Brooklyn site. Rental apartments will be located in the podium, while one-to-four-bedroom condo units will occupy the two towers.
