The NYT and DNAinfo report that three new towers are set to rise across the East River, just south of the Williamsburgh Bridge.

The architect is ODA New York, and the developer is Eliot Sptizer.

Of course development on the area just north of the bridge is already underway with an ambitious project designed by SHoP Architects.

Our view of Brooklyn is going to be very different in the next couple of years.
