  1. I grew up in the City with a “flesh and blood” doorman (woman) and some of my fondest childhood memories are the friendships I made with them..will a “virtual doorman” be as welcoming?

    This project has taken nearly forever. After the foundation was started, there was a huge hole in the ground for several years, then it began again, mostly much faster. It’s a curious design with metal panel rain screen. I’m not sure what the huge podium will contain with just a few very large window walls. It rather looks like a shopping mall.

  3. how in the world could anyone in their right mind call this affordable housing?!
    This is INCOME LINKED HOUSING for upper income people when we have a housing crisis in nyc for low and middle income people.

    WHAT A SAD JKE ON NYERS

    • So guesser is now gubsers?

      You outsmarted everybody.

      • Why don’t you try to make an intelligent comment about how this isn’t really affordable housing , but income linked housing for upper income people and whether you agree or not, instead of worrying about my name.

        I wasn’t trying to outsmart any YIMBYS at all. So don’t give yourself credit for being smart.

            Answer

          • That’s because they want to sell as much product as possible at the highest price. Calling it affordable makes the reporting out look impressive. “See nyc has %XX affordable housing! We’re doing our job as developers to help the people”

    This seems like a Johnson Wax Building East.

  5. Looks like a building in a child’s toy set with no sharp edges. I like it.

    Livable space that offer residents through attractive room-scape, about the same of shades on interior to exterior by and large. So looks a great degree of details, there’s a unit with various scales on beautiful openings in a rendering state: Thanks.

  7. FYI Target will no longer be a tenant and their name was taken off the signage in 2023 at some point. Burlington is still slated to open and a physical therapy business. The building seems to have two different addresses…..Woodbine and St Nicholas Avenue. I believe the St Nick address is for the retail entryway. Businesses have already closed and new more expensive ones in its place. Unfortunately, many Myrtle Avenue storefronts remain shut. I am glad they did not try to get the diner out because the original renderings did not include it. As of 5.9.24 there does not seem to be a lot of work going on. The dates for the grand opening were moved and here we are. It is not affordable to the people who grew up in the neighborhood or even those who have been there for ten plus years. Lets hope there is enough underground parking for those looking to shop there and for residents. There is literally no parking to be had. Has any of this been addressed at the community board meetings lately?
