I am going to work on improving this article. There has been sustained coverage of attempts by JDS (and, I believe, other developers, previously) to assemble this parcel over the course of several years. Also, one need look no further than the template at the bottom of the page to see that 340 Flatbush falls well within the realm of buildings that can be predicted: 2019 is only three years away, and construction is likely to begin soon, given that JDS finished purchasing air rights this week, and their current major project, 111 West 57th Street is in full swing, to be finished by the end of next year. There is an enormous amount of precedent for coverage of proposed, approved, under construction, and even cancelled skyscrapers on Wikipedia; as such, 340 Flatbush should be kept.-- MainlyTwelve ( talk) 17:26, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
In an article yesterday, The New York Times lists this new building's address as "9 DeKalb Avenue", which is the current address of the Dime Savings Bank, which I've read is planned to be re-purposed as the new building's main entrance. It says that one of the buildings that would be demolished to make way for construction is "340 Flatbush Avenue Extension". The real estate website Curbed seems to use both address when running stories. I'm not ready to propose a name change, but either way "340 Flatbush Avenue" probably isn't the most accurate option we have, since that's missing the more accurate designation as "Extension". Thoughts?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 15:34, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay, real quick, I'm gonna put a pin in my review and say that I've started to wonder if this article should be split. It's approximately 4000 words in total, and roughly 1200 (more than 25%) of those are dedicated just to the bank building. Given that the bank building would obviously have been notable in its own right before they stuck the Brooklyn Tower on top of it, would it not make sense for it to have its own article? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 01:22, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

As usual, a solid article with pretty minimal issues. Sourcing is reliable and no concerns on the ones I spot checked. No CV issues, no POV, etc etc. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 07:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Why bother putting anywhere in the article that it really only has 74 floors when we can just lie and copy inflated promotional material. The height and floors are both off from the very number one footnote reference the CTBUH. B137 ( talk) 00:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
