More like Jim Beam Architects.
I do like the arches at the base. But besides that, this looks pretty mediocre.
Dear gawd, what is this?
This is like Brooklyn’s version of 420 W42.
Looks like stacked construction trailers.
AMI what a joke
Nothing affordable about these
No diversity for the neighborhood
Ziggurats!
Building is rather unappealing and rents even more.
STOP CALLING THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING!
THIS IS INCOME LINKED HUSING AND ONLY AFFORDABLE TO UPPER INCOME PEOPLE, NOT LOW INCOME.
WHAT A JOKE
THIS IS NOTHING BUT A TAXPAYER SUBSIDY TO MILLIONAIRE DEVELOPERS
421A IS DEAD
At 130 percent of the AMI, there are ten two-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,250 for incomes ranging from $111,429 to $187,330.
This is NOT affordable housing, this gentrification. What a shame!
