The townhouse going in at 242 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill — the one that Beastie Boy Mike Diamond is helping design and develop — is nearing the finish line. “It looks great,” said a reader who snapped this photo when he passed by last week. A tall fence made the site impossible to see, but it seems to have been replaced recently by a regular construction fence.
The architects are John and Jill Bouratoglou. A listing went up in September, and construction is supposed to wrap in December. The ask is $4,980,000, and it’s not in contract yet. What do you think of the look so far? GMAP

Looks like crap, first floor looks like commercial space…bland and lacking imagination. Ugh.
On the other hand, if you need drugs, you don’t even need to put on a jacket.
What, and miss out on the drop-dead gorgeous views of the New York Sports Club, Brooklyn House of D and soon (hope, hope) Pier I Imports?!
