This is the tower that has gone up on the waterfront beneath Brooklyn Heights between Piers 4 and 5 as seen from street level. In July, the water will be turned on and it will run from 7AM-10PM every day as part of Olafur Eliasson’s “Waterfalls” project. This tower is 120 feet tall and it’s near the former site of the Floating Pool. Per today’s Daily News:

The scaffolds from which water will tumble are bulkier than those that would go up around a building, said Richard Kielar, a spokesman for Tishman Construction, which is overseeing the building of the art project. “They have to hold all the piping, pumps and electronic equipment that control the flow of water to make it fall as the artist envisioned,” Kielar said. The manmade installations won’t be nearly as high or as wide as the natural waterfalls on the U.S.-Canadian border, but they will provide a nice breeze on a hot summer day.

They will be lit up at night. For a photo gallery check yesterday’s Curbed post. So, will you be able to hear the waterfall from the Brooklyn Promenade over the roar of traffic on the BQE?
