For those of you who’ve never checked it out, Tiffany Place is a gorgeous one-block cobblestone street just west of the BQE (which Corcoran is apparently calling Cobble Hill West) that has retained its historic charm through a number of low-key residential conversions over the years. (Check out the photo on the jump.) That’s all changed in recent months with the addition of a the Tiffany Tower to the streetscape. To the building’s credit, the high-rise portion is mercifully set back, so that it does not dominate the street-level vista. We’re sure the light and views will be very nice indeed. Do we wish the original building had been preserved? Absolutely. It could have worked very nicely with a glassy modern addition. But what’s done is done and the end result could be a lot worse. And it’s clearly been popular with buyers — every unit is in contract, ranging in price from about $650 to $875 per square foot.
