For better or for worse, modern “luxury” has finally found its way to Windsor Terrace, a neighborhood better known for its understatedness and cops-and-firemen residents than slick marketing campaigns. The development, the work of Bricolage Designs, got some ink earler in the week from blog IMBY (and Curbed, which linked to it) which focused on the marketing effort’s purposeful ommission of the fact that the development overlooks Green-wood Cemetery. Personally, we think views of the beautiful, historic and very lush public space would be a pig positive, but evidently some people are “creeped out” by the idea. The bigger question, in our mind, is whether there are enough people willing to pay between $550 and $600 a foot to live in this location. The interiors look nice enough for this type of project and the high window quotient should be received positively. Has anyone visited yet?
