275 Atlantic Avenue

HOK · Downtown Brooklyn · 2027

North facade from Boerum Place.

Facade installation is underway at the 15-story Brooklyn Detention Complex in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by HOK, the 339-foot-tall structure replaces a previous detention complex on the full block site bounded by Atlantic Avenue, Smith Street, State Street, and Boerum Place. Superstructure is close to topping out and curtain wall panels by Enclos are starting to be installed on the lower floors. The facade design includes alternating multi-story panels of glass and champagne and bronze metal panels with a twisting shape that gives added depth. Outdoor recreation spaces are located vertically along several of the facades and are articulated as large eroded voids. When completed, the facility will be able to house up to 1,040 inmates as part of the city’s plan to replace the Rikers Island detention complex with new facilities in each borough except Staten Island. Community facility space will also be located at the ground floor along Atlantic Avenue.
