It's All a Blur: Losing Track in Dumbo

tower
A little help please! Driving over the Brooklyn Bridge last week, we snapped a photo of this new development in Dumbo but aren't sure which one it is. This isn't the famous J Condo, is it? Nope...It's the Beacon Tower at 85 Adams Street.

The 'great' thing about this luxury development in DUMBO is that it boasts Zen design (including a Zen garden) as its main selling point. Too bad it's bounded by the BQE & Manhattan Bridge, which are just a little noisy. Oh well…………… shhh……. oommmmmmmmmmm

The top half of this building might be nice. The bottom half might be loud and exhaust-filled with lovely views of the BQE.

This is a boymelgreen project. He's also building the smith at the corner of smith and atlantic.

looks like the apartments are selling reasonably well.

actually they had to lower the prices at 85 Adams, a first for a major New condo development, now it seems the project is stalled out.

this is not boymelgreen project. Boymelgreen's project is around the corner, the beige brick colored building. It is behind this one if you are going over the bridge coming from brooklyn.
