The second, and better-located, tower at Toll Brothers’ Northside Piers project on the Williamsburg waterfront is almost all glassed up, according to this photo we snapped yesterday. If any of the units are in contract, however, the sales have yet to hit the StreetEasy database.

  1. Borninbk, can I contact you regarding questions I have about Northside Piers? I am in discussions about purchasing in Tower 2.
    Thanks in advance

  2. had a friend who moved into a 2 bed in tower one a couple of weeks ago and he’s thrilled. got a good deal. he’s no hipster btw – just shy of 40.

    i really can’t see how anyone would say that they are ugly?
    from the bridge, they are pretty cool looking – bright with sunshine bouncing off the windows. developer did a first class job with the pier and the sculpture.

  3. “Dirty Hipster — what bothers you most about the quality inside? I also live there and I’ve been pretty happy with everything.”

    Sorry – i don’t mean to knock where anyone lives. I guess what I’ve touched on in previous threads is that I much prefer the conversion projects in the neighborhood as opposed to new construction. They have a more solid feel.

    Didn’t mean to insinuate that NSP was somehow worse then other new construction high rises (Oro, Edge, etc) as I have no basis for comparison.

  4. thanks borninbk — there will be plenty of people. I think the real mystery is why it took so long for the area to get re-zoned and developed. Back in the day, I never understood why someone didn’t just…well, buy that whole thing and put up some hi-rises. enjoy….

  5. Joe,

    To be honest, I really like it. Beside the park, there is a beautiful pier and as the rest of the site gets built out there will be more greenery. At the end of the day its a diverse neighborhood and there are plenty of people that have to wear a suit or formal wear to work who don’t live @ NSP but in other parts of the hood. The point I’m getting at is its in everyone’s benefit to have more people in this area, not just flannel / ray ban wearing kids which only account for a much smaller part of the population than they did some years ago.

    There’s enough for everyone.
