Development Watch: 111 Lawrence Street

Back in January, 111 Lawrence Street was a little bit glassy. Now it's very glassy. Keep on keepin' on.

this building will be great for the area, and in this shot looks pretty good...

This thing is hideous.

I love the height - the building itself is a disgrace though.

1. Pancaked low ceilings: ✔
2. Exposed floor plates: ✔
3. No set-backs: ✔
4. Cheap curtain-wall: ✔
5. Eyesore to area residents for the next 25 to 75 years: ✔

Wished it was destroyed and a better looking building was put up: ✔

Cookie, you forgot blank walls on the north and south facades: ✔

As much as I am all in favor of high density development in downtown Brooklyn. I have to agree with Cookie and zinka. Cheap, low quality, dreck.

this building looks like a big piece of shit. correction: a growing piece of shit.

There is a bed bug problem in that area.

^---- Really? Is this in the MetroTech area proper and Fulton Mall area or on the other side of Flatbush Ave?

In reply to CookieCutterBrownstone, I'll agree it's not the most attractive building, but there were a lot of restrictions placed on the construction due to its location in the MetroPlex. It also hampered the concrete pouring that is so critical to high rise. Our company is installing the windows there, and while I don't really like the color, Efco windows (now a division of Pella) are of the highest quality. I assure you that the curtainwall isn't "cheap" as you say. You probably just don't like the aesthetics.
