This will be a huge building – nearly a million square feet. I really hope the architects can design the massing to look less like an enormous refrigerator box on its side. I also hope the lovely old ledgestone retaining wall is preserved – it’s very charming and adds tremendously to the street and softens the ugliness of the Kingsborough Houses.
i think the million square feet is just the typical sloppiness of this website. that would be nearly 4,000 square feet per unit which is completely insane.
Yimby just got the numbers from Marketproof, which more or less say the same thing.
