Exterior Close to Done at Williamsburg's Affordable Housing on Frost Street
The exterior of 59 Frost Street, an affordable housing development in Williamsburg, was looking good when we passed by Sunday. Almost all the windows were in and the facade appeared to be finished.

The exterior of 59 Frost Street, an affordable housing development in Williamsburg, was looking good when we passed by Sunday. Almost all the windows were in and the facade appeared to be finished.
In fact, it looks better in person than in photos because the 3-D effect of the recessed windows is more apparent. You’d never guess from the outside this is an affordable building.
Unfortunately, it sits across from the BQE and all its exhaust fumes, as does the recently built luxury rental LeonardPointe next door. They used to be on one tax lot and were both developed by Rabsky Group. The building has 47 units, and Curtis & Ginsberg is the architect of record, according to permits.
What do you think of the design so far?

Looks like a prison – they could have tried a little harder…
So what are you saying; because market rate people have the option of living here with the concentrated pollution (both noise & carbon monoxide) from the BQE it is acceptable for low income people that do not have the same choices?
The pigeons have somewhere to perch as well.
this was the first street i lived on in williamsburg and absolutely loved it. probably the most central location you can get in WB – but man, the amount of soot that collected on windowsills from the bqe was pretty scary. at night the BQE sounded sorta like the ocean which was nice

Cate’s remark, not yours
while I was reading, I copied the same quote to comment about it, but you beat me to it.
What a pompous and condescending comment!
