The View from the Edge

Folks at Williamsburg's waterfront mega-project The Edge sent out some eye candy: construction photos and views from the actual apartments. Not a bad vista from 12L.

And just a short kayak ride too when you can't get on the L.

This could not be worse timing. These are going to sit here mostly unsold for years.

Nothin' screams luxury like full views of the power plant....

I don't find looking out at smokestacks all that magnificent. Especially on days when the wind is blowing east, which I guess is most days.

Well why don't you just look at the lovely Stuy Town instead, just to the right.

Who cares about the smokestacks, when your brain is falling apart from living over an oil slick.

The oil slick hasn't even crossed west of McGuiness, let alone get to Williamsburg.

I think these will sell, but everything east of the waterfront will have some problems.

If I was going to buy in the nabe, I'd much rather get a resale at the Gretsch or Mill Building then buy at the Edge or NSP.

maybe when the freedom tower is built where the twin towers were the view will improve?

this place will have value. the views aren't going anywhere. also, i think it will be high end unlike the mill. i love the gretsch, but this is a better location. i have similar views that are extensive from my roof top deck (which will not get blocked as i am directly east of the state park), and it really doesn't get old.
