It's the last undeveloped site in DUMBO. On it, stands a two-story garage and street level parking lot.

Development company Two Trees Management wants to build an 18-story tower there, but the project is causing lots of controversy because it's next to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.

"This building will loom over and dominate the bridge on the brooklyn side and the historic district, the historic neighborhoods that surround it," said one resident.

"It will significantly obstruct the iconic views of and from the bridge," said another resident.

Those opposed to the Dock Street project, and those for it, packed Brooklyn Borough Hall Tuesday night at the borough president's public hearing.

The $150 million complex would include both luxury and affordable housing, retail, a parking garage and middle school.

"Two Trees comes along with this modest development, respectful of this great bridge, which will provide jobs and affordable housing, the school long needed," said one resident.

"This kind of development can bring both a vibrancy that new residents bring to a neighborhood," said one supporter.

The project is the second attempt by Two Trees to build in the location. It scrapped plans four years ago in order to acquire more property and says it has an improved design that would stretch down to Water Street.

"There will not be a more contextual or compatible building on this site than what's being proposed now. And the community really gets the best of both worlds," said Jed Walentas, Two Trees Management Company.

The community board agreed, voting earlier this month to approve the project. To those who worry about blocked views, Two Trees had a response.

"The low slab of the building is designed to be beneath the roadway so anyone driving or biking or walking over the roadway clearly sees over this building with no obstruction," said Walentas.

Still, there are other criticisms.

"Anyone can see that our neighborhood does not have the infrastructure to accommodate such a crush of traffic," said one resident.

"Is a building truly green if it's going to add 450 cars at minimum a day to the neighborhood," said another resident.

Borough President Marty Markowitz is expected to issue his recommendations on the project by the end of February.
