I wonder how many bikes and storage cabinets one can get on those balconies.
that render looked too nice to be from Badaly, and sure enough when checking google streets, the actual building is closer to what you would expect, but still decent enough.
But a stark contrast with the pretty art deco next door
This is their best work honestly. Maybe they started reading NY Yimby?
Nope, it’s crap.
Looks more like a building designed by Aufgang Architects with the brick facade and set of windows
The picture looks nearly identical to the Wave (new construction in east Williambsurg).
The top picture is a building from in Williamsburg.
Always loved that street name, which I lived nearby half a century ago. Alas, Boscobel Road was changed after WW One to “Edward L Grant Highway.” Grant is now forgotten.
Any Featherbedding going on here? 🙂
Agreed. One of the best Bx street names. Gun Hill Road holds the title in my book though. Grand Concourse a close second.
This has been more or less finished for a while.
It’s a Badaly pile doing what a Badaly pile does best… shoving a cheap, imagination-free square into a round hole. Look at this amazing site. A wonderful curved street with a stair street on one side and this is what they do with it.
What you’re seeing here is called rank incompetence and these clowns should have their license to practice pulled before they do any more extraordinary damage to the borough.
Kudos on keeping the AMI prices down to a max of 60%. These 40 apartments are truly afforable. Unfortunately the other 120 units are designated as unaffordable.
This is not the way to fix the housing crisis. Its just a drizzle of well priced apartments among a majority of overpriced units. We need to flip those numbers to 120 affordable.
Then it probably wouldn’t have been built then.
What you are describing is called public housing development. Which is fine and I’m in favor of, but the funding necessary for it would likely need to come from the federal government like in the Housing days, which they don’t do a fraction of anymore, let alone this fascist, city-hating, lower income hating administration in Washington.
