Rendering Posted for Rental Building at 267 Pacific Street in Cobble Hill

Construction is chugging along at 267 Pacific Street in Cobble Hill, where we found this rendering on the fence. The seven-story rental building will have 60 apartments, 30 subterranean parking spaces, ground-floor retail and a roof terrace, as we’ve previously reported.
When we stopped by this week, it looked like the brick-colored facade was being installed on the Pacific Street side. We’ve included a picture after the jump. Construction started in January 2013 and is scheduled to finish in June. The architect of record is GF55 Partners and the developer is Quinlan Development.
What do you think of the building design?

An Update on a Rental Going up in Cobble Hill [Brownstoner]
There is an interesting mural going up on this building—you can read more about it here:

The mural is based on an iconic image from “ Street Play Project,” a collection of 1970s photos by Martha Cooper that highlights the creative spirit of New York City’s inner-city residents. This particular image depicts a teenager who scavenged the city for bicycle parts to craft his own stylized inventions.

I think the building is looking good and happy that this Cobble Hill block is getting redeveloped. It has been an eyesore for years.
I agree. I think it looks pretty good, and I’m thrilled that those gross empty lots and derelict warehouse are gone and that new life will come to the street.
Pacific between Court and Smith is Boerum Hill, not Cobble Hill.
I think that architects have either just given up, or they think that if they just design more buildings that look like the House of Detention, then eventually we won’t be able to tell which building is a jail and which is a remarkably overpriced stack of boxes for those with money and no taste.
The 45 feet wide by 75 feet tall mural that is being installed was produced by Cre8tive YouTH*ink (a creative arts youth development organization), featuring Chris Stain and Billy Mode — and part of an ongoing series called the Art School Without Walls. It was inspired by a photo of Martha Cooper’s from her Street Play Series. In it she captures the scrappiness and resiliency of inner-city youth “making something from nothing”, and in fact, Street Play was her entrée into the then clandestine world of graffiti.
