80 Flatbush is a proposal for a mixed-use development in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. The completion of the project is contingent on the rezoning of the site owned by Alloy and the Department of Education so that two towers can be built and density (FAR) can be tripled. The tallest tower will be as tall as the Chrysler Building and the 13th tallest building in all of New York City.[3] Without the rezoning, Alloy will still be able to build a single tower taller than the iconic Williamsburg Savings bank Building/One Hanson Place.

The two buildings will incorporate residential units, schools, office space, and a retail base. One of the schools will be a new facility for Khalil Gibran International Academy, while the other will be a new school.[4] Alloy, the developer, is also partnering with BRIC to turn a building on the site that will not be razed into new spaces for the organization.[5]

The development is planned for a triangular plot in Brooklyn. All of the buildings present today will not be razed; one, a former Civil War infirmary, will be preserved and re-purposed as a cultural facility.[4]

Following a height reduction for both towers, the project was approved by a New York City Council subcommittee in September of 2018, and is likely to be approved by the full council.[6]
